The paper deals with nonlinear modeling and identification of an electrohydraulic control system for improving its tracking performance. We build the nonlinear state space model for analyzing the highly nonlinear system and then develop a Hammerstein-Wiener (H-W) model which consists of a static input nonlinear block with two-segment polynomial nonlinearities, a linear time-invariant dynamic block, and a static output nonlinear block with single polynomial nonlinearity to describe it. We simplify the H-W model into a linear-in-parameters structure by using the key term separation principle and then use a modified recursive least square method with iterative estimation of internal variables to identify all the unknown parameters simultaneously. It is found that the proposed H-W model approximates the actual system better than the independent Hammerstein, Wiener, and ARX models. The prediction error of the H-W model is about 13%, 54%, and 58% less than the Hammerstein, Wiener, and ARX models, respectively.

In this paper a new time varying multivariate Prony (TVM-Prony) method is put forward to identify modal parameters of time varying (TV) multiple-degree-of-freedom systems from measured vibration responses. The proposed method is based on the classical Prony method that is often used to identify modal parameters of linear time invariant systems. The main advantage of the propose approach is that it can analyze multi-dimensional nonstationary signals simultaneously. A modified recursive least square method based on the traditional one is presented to determine the TV coefficient matrices of the multivariate parametric model established in the proposed method. The efficiency and accuracy of the identification approach is demonstrated by a numerical example, in which a TV mass-string system with three-degree-of-freedom is investigated. Satisfied results are obtained.

The proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is still the most common controller and stabilizer used in industry due to its simplicity and ease of implementation. In most of the real applications, the controlled system has parameters which slowly vary or are uncertain. Thus, PID gains must be adapted to cope with such changes. In this paper, adaptive PID (APID) controller is proposed using the recursive least square (RLS) algorithm. RLS algorithm is used to update the PID gains in real time (as system operates) to force the actual system to behave like a desired reference model. Computer simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed APID controller on SISO stable and unstable systems considering the presence of changes in the systems parameters.

In this paper, a new computationally efficient algorithm is developed for online and real-time identification of time, location, and severity of abrupt changes in structural stiffness as well as the unknown inputs such as earthquake signal. The proposed algorithm consists of three stages and is based on self-adaptive recursive least-square (RLS) and curvature-change approaches. In stage 1 (intact structure), a simple compact RLS is hired to estimate the unknown parameters and input of the structure such as stiffness and earthquake. Once the damage has occurred, its time and location are identified in stage 2, using two robust damage indices which are based on the structural jerk response and the error between measured and estimated responses of structure from RLS. Finally, the damage severity as well as the unknown excitations are identified in the third stage (damaged structure), using a self-adaptive multiple-forgetting-factor RLS. The method is validated through numerical and experimental case studies including linear and nonlinear buildings, a truss structure, and a three-story steel frame with different excitations and damage scenarios. Results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively identify the time-varying structural stiffness as well as unknown excitations with high computational efficiency, even when the measured data is contaminated with different levels of noise. In addition, as no optimization method is used here, it can be applied to real-time applications with computational efficiency.
