Two cable lengths can be combined to create one long cable, if needed.
The form-finding is done by modifying the single cable lengths such that the total cable length is preserved and the potential energy of the system is minimized.
It is indeed able to calculate novel configurations, with no assumptions on cable lengths or cable-to-strut ratios.
B. Membrane voltage traces for three cable lengths as a function of time (shown for 10 compartments that span the cable).
Results are presented for three different ac and dc system topologies for varying cable lengths and conductor cross-sections.
Experiments with different payloads and cable lengths show that the proposed controller is robust to changes in payload with satisfactory responses.
The zero-displacement method that adjusts the initial cable lengths repeatedly to achieve the design deck profile is both computationally intensive and prone to convergence difficulty.
In a practical application, overhead cranes are usually subjected to system parameter uncertainties, such as uncertain payload masses, cable lengths, frictions, and external disturbances, such as air resistance.
The digging cost of the trenches, as well as the sum of the cable lengths between the customers and their assigned facilities, are minimized.
The design has focused on the EMI restrictions as well and measurements are provided for comparison with other solutions working with similar cable lengths.
