Safety Issues with Tower Crane and Remedial Measures
Abstract: Tower cranes are the focus of execution on today’s typical building construction sites. Tower crane has to hoist and transport a variety of loads near and above people, under crowded conditions, occasionally with overlapping work zones, and often within time, budget, and labor constraints. This leads to the safety risk on sites that are intrinsically hazardous. This paper identifies the major factors affecting safety of tower-crane and evaluates the degree …

Model Based Controller Design for Position Control of Servo Controlled Hydraulic Actuator against Air Entrainment
Abstract: Position control is important for numerous industrial and aircraft applications. Electro-hydraulic actuators are used for position control for advantages they provide over other actuation systems. The hydraulic fluid used for actuation, though desired to be incompressible, has some compressibility in practice. Entrainment of air in the fluid increases compressibility effect by reducing the effective bulk modulus. Reduced bulk modulus makes position control difficult. The paper studies the effect of effective …
