Abstract Characterization and quantification of dynamic measurements is an ongoing area of research in the metrological community, as new calibration methods are being developed to address dynamic measurement applications. In the development undertaken to date, one largely assumes that nominally linear transducers can be used with linear assumptions in deconvolution of the input from the response and in system identification. To quantify the errors that arise from these assumptions, in this article, the effects of weak nonlinearities in transducers that are assumed to behave linearly during dynamic excitations are studied. Specifically, a set of first-order and second-order systems, which can model many transducers with weak nonlinearities, are used to numerically quantify the systemic errors due to the linear assumptions underlying the deconvolution. We show through the presented results the evolution of different error metrics over a large parameter space of possible transducers. Additionally, an example of quantification of the errors due to linear assumptions in system identification is demonstrated by using a time-series sparse regression system identification strategy. It is shown that the errors generated from linear identification of a nonlinear transducer can counteract the systemic errors that arise in linear deconvolution when the linear system identification is performed in similar loading conditions. In general, the methodology and results presented here can be useful for understanding the effect of nonlinearity in single degree of freedom transient dynamics deconvolution and specifically in specifying certain metrics of errors in transducers with known weak nonlinearities.

The study of the differential-algebraic boundary value problems, traditional for the Kiev school of nonlinear oscillations, founded by academicians M.M. Krylov, M.M. Bogolyubov, Yu.A. Mitropolsky and A.M. Samoilenko. It was founded in the 19th century in the works of G. Kirchhoff and K. Weierstrass and developed in the 20th century by M.M. Luzin, F.R. Gantmacher, A.M. Tikhonov, A. Rutkas, Yu.D. Shlapac, S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko, O.A. Boichuk, V.P. Yacovets, C.W. Gear and others. In the works of S.L. Campbell, L.R. Petzold, Yu.E. Boyarintsev, V.F. Chistyakov, A.M. Samoilenko and V.P. Yakovets were obtained sufficient conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form and the structure of the general solution of the degenerate linear system was obtained. Assuming that the conditions for the reducibility of the linear differential-algebraic system to the central canonical form were satisfied, O.A.~Boichuk obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and constructed a generalized Green operator of this problem. Based on this, later O.A. Boichuk and O.O. Pokutnyi obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problem, the linear part of which is a Noetherian differential algebraic boundary value problem. Thus, out of the scope of the research, the cases of dependence of the desired solution on an arbitrary continuous function were left, which are typical for the linear differential-algebraic system. Our article is devoted to the study of just such a case. The article uses the original necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear Noetherian differential-algebraic boundary value problem and the construction of the generalized Green operator of this problem, constructed by S.M. Chuiko. Based on this, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary value problem were obtained. A typical feature of the obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the linear and weakly nonlinear differential-algebraic boundary-value problem is its dependence on the means of fixing of the arbitrary continuous function. An improved classification and a convergent iterative scheme for finding approximations to the solutions of weakly nonlinear differential algebraic boundary value problems was constructed in the article.
