A new method of identifying parameters of nonlinearly vibrating system in frequency domain is presented in this paper. The problems of parameter identification of the nonlinear dynamic system with nonlinear elastic force or nonlinear damping force are discussed. In the method, the mathematic model of parameter identification is frequency response function. Firstly, by means of perturbation method the frequency response function of weakly nonlinear vibration system is derived. Next, a parameter transformation is made and the frequency response function becomes a linear function of the new parameters. Then, based on this function and with the least square method, physical parameters of the system are identified. Finally, the applicability of the proposed technique is confirmed by numerical simulation.

A method based on frequency domain approaches is presented for the non-linear parameter identification of a structure having non-linear joints. The frequency response function (FRF) of the linear substructure, which can be calculated from the finite element method or measured by an experimental method, is used to calculate its FRFs needed in the parameter identification process. This method is easily applicable to a complex real structure having non-linear joints since it uses the FRF of the substructure. Since this method is performed in the frequency domain, the number of equations can be easily increased to as many as required to identify unknown parameters, not only by just varying the excitation amplitude but also by selecting the excitation frequencies. The validity of this method was tested numerically and experimentally with a cantilever beam having a non-linear element. It was verified through examples that the proposed method is useful to identify the non-linear joint parameters of a structure having arbitrary boundaries.

Abstract Complex modal testing is employed for parameter identification of a four-axis active magnetic bearing system. In the test, magnetic bearings are used as exciters while the system is in operation. The experimental results show that the directional frequency response function, which is properly defined in the complex domain, is a powerful tool for identification of bearing as well as modal parameters.

Based on the perspective of nonlinearities as internal feedback forces, the external force identification model for the nonlinear vibration system is established in the frequency domain. In general, the accuracy of proposed technique is often limited by the noise in the measured structural responses and the inversion of the ill-conditioned linear frequency response functions matrix. Hence, the force identification problem always changes to be an ill-posed problem, and in order to obtain the stable solution, the ordinary least square method, combining with a regularization technique, is used in this paper. Finally, in order to verify the practicality and accuracy of the proposed method, a numerical example and experimental application are used. The results show that it is feasible to apply the proposed method to identify the external force for a nonlinear vibration system.

The increasing application of composites in the aviation and automobile industry demands a better understanding of composite material behavior under high loading rate. This shall provide a better insight of actual loads on occupants while preserving livable crashworthy structure. In this study, a high stroke rate MTS servo-hydraulic testing machine is used to characterize the behavior of composite materials at high strain rates. At higher stroke rates, the output of the load detection system acquired by the load cell deviates from the true load-time wave form of the specimen. This is due to the convolution of the structural response of the detection system with the true characteristic of the specimen. To identify the true nature of the specimen load-time behavior, the de-convolution of the detection system response is necessary to restore the specimen characteristic wave form closer to its true behavior. The convolution of data set in the time domain is a time consuming process which explains the benefit of using the frequency domain; as the convolution in time domain corresponds to multiplication in the frequency domain. This process requires the transformation of the time domain data to frequency domain data via Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In the frequency domain the complex division of the Fourier transfer of the detection system output with frequency response function of the detection system shall provide the true complex input characteristic. This paper elaborates the methodology utilized for obtaining the Frequency Response Function (FRF) of the load detection system using digital Fourier analysis with a single input/output data set. This also emphasizes precautions and guidelines for improving results with FFT to obtain true FRF measurements of the load detection system. The FRF obtained is successfully used to identify the actual specimen wave form characteristic. This is achieved by extracting the structural response of the load detection system from the load cell output.
