Model of a long payload suspended on two cooperating winches and its preliminary experimental verification

The dynamic model of a long payload motion in vertical plane containing the payload axis, suspended on two ropes on two co-operating winches is presented in the paper. The method of mathematical description of the model and its solving method are presented. The model is preliminary verified by comparison between simulation and experimental tests of payload oscillations done for immovable position of ropes suspension points. The results of verification and other simulation tests are presented as well.
