An iterative Hilbert-Huang transformation (HHT) based algorithm is developed to extract the modal parameters of a linear time invariant (LTI) system excited by recorded non-stationary ground motion. The acceleration responses are measured using wireless sensors, which are filtered to avoid mode mixing prior to evaluate the instantaneous amplitude and phase using HHT. The band width is adjusted in successive iterations to achieve convergence in modal parameter estimation. The numerical study presented in this work discusses the efficiency of the identification strategy in the light of noise contaminated earthquake responses.

Parameters of the linear time invariant (LTI) dynamic system using extended Kalman filter (EKF) are identified in this work. The efficiency of EKF for parameter estimation of LTI system is studied. For this purpose, a three-story steel frame is used in the laboratory, and the recorded ground motion is applied to measure the acceleration response at different floor levels. Using these responses, the EKF-based predictor-corrector algorithm is used to identify the modal parameters. It has been observed that the EKF-based identification scheme can converge to different system matrices (i.e., mass and stiffness) in different experiments for the same structure. However, their eigen values (i.e., natural frequency and mode) remain the same.

This work describes a new procedure for dynamic optimization of controllable Linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. Unlike the traditional approach, which results in 2n first order differential equations, the method proposed here yields a set of m differential equations, whose highest order is twice the controllability index of the system p. This paper generalizes the approach presented in a previous work [1] to any controllable LTI system.

Linear time-invariant systems operate at a single sampling rate i.e. the sampling rate is the same at the input and at the output of the system, and at all the nodes inside the system. Thus, in an LTI system, the sampling rate doesn’t change in different stages of the system. Systems that use different sampling rates at different stages are called the multirate systems. The multirate techniques are used to convert the given sampling rate to the desired sampling rate, and to provide different sampling rates through the system without destroying the signal components of interest. In this chapter, we consider the sampling rate alterations when changing the sampling rate by an integer factor. We describe the basic sampling rate alteration operations, and the effects of those operations on the spectrum of the signal.

A method is presented that can often reduce the number of scheduling parameters for gain-scheduled controller implementation by transformation of the system representation using parameter-dependent dimensional transformations. In some cases, the reduction in parameter dependence is so significant that a linear parameter-varying system can be transformed to an equivalent linear time invariant (LTI) system, and a simple example of this is given. A general analysis of the parameter-dependent dimensional transformation using a matrix-based approach is then presented. It is shown that, while some transformations simplify gain scheduling, others may increase the number of scheduling parameters. This work explores the mathematical conditions causing an increase or decrease in varying parameters resulting from a given transformation, thereby allowing one to seek transformations that most reduce the number of gain-scheduled parameters in the controller synthesis step.

We design adaptive algorithms for both cancellation and estimation of unknown periodic disturbance, by feedback of state--derivatives ( i.e.,} without position information for mechanical systems) for the plants which are modeled as a linear time invariant system. We consider a series of unmatched unknown sinusoidal signals as the disturbance.The first step of the design consists of the parametrization of the disturbance model and the development of observer filters.The result obtained in this step allows us to use adaptive control techniques for the solution of the problem.In order to handle the unmatched condition, a backstepping technique is employed. Since the partial measurement of the virtual inputs is not available, we design a state observer and the estimates of these signals are used in the backstepping design.Finally, the stability of the equilibrium of the adaptive closed loop system with the convergence of states is proven.As a numerical example, a two-degree of freedom system is considered and the effectiveness of the algorithms are shown.

The paper deals with the identification of linear time invariant (LTI) systems by a special observer. An observer emitting an frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal and having a stretch processor as receiver will be considered for system identification. A thorough derivation of the gathered baseband signal for arbitrary LTI systems will be given. It is shown, that the received signal is approximately given by the transfer function of the LTI system over the frequency sweep of the FMCW signal. The proof relies on an infinite large time-bandwidth product of the transmit signal, such that errors remain in practical applications with a finite time-bandwidth product. Monte–Carlo simulations are conducted to verify the approximation and to quantify its accuracy and remaining errors. The findings are important for e.g. calibration or derivation of a device model in FMCW radar applications.
