On basis of overhead crane dynamic characteristic, the sliding mode function with regard to trolley position and payload angle. Additionally, in order to eliminate the chattering problem of sliding mode control, the fuzzy logic theory is adopted to soften the control performance. Moreover, aiming at the FSMC parameter setting problem, a DE algorithm based optimization scheme is proposed for enhancing the control performance. Finally, by implementing the computer simulation, the DE based FSMC can effectively tackle the overhead crane sway problem and avoid unexpected accident greatly.
