In this paper, a technique is proposed for non-parametric identification of structural nonlinearity with limited input and output measurements. The identification algorithm is based on the classical Kalman estimator for the displacement and the velocity responses and the recursive least square estimation for the unmeasured excitation and the restoring force. Two different models are used to simulate nonlinear structures: One is a 4-storey shear-frame structure with excitation on the top floor and the nonlinearity occurs at the bottom floor. The other is also a 4-storey shear-frame structure with both excitation and the nonlinearity at the top floor. Two numerical examples are carried out for the two kinds of models. Bouc-Wen hysteretic models are used to simulate the nonlinear impact. The simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed technique with limited output measurements.

Purpose This study/paper aims to present a separable identification algorithm for a multiple input single output (MISO) continuous time (CT) hybrid “Box–Jenkins”. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes an optimal method for the identification of MISO CT hybrid “Box–Jenkins” systems with unknown time delays by using the two-stage recursive least-square (TS-RLS) identification algorithm. Findings The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is shown with application to a simulation example. Originality/value A two-stage recursive least-square identification method is developed for multiple input single output continuous time hybrid “Box–Jenkins” system with multiple unknown time delays from sampled data. The proposed technique allows the division of the global CT hybrid “Box–Jenkins” system into two fictitious subsystems: the first one contains the parameters of the system model, including the multiple unknown time delays, and the second contains the parameters of the noise model. Then the TS-RLS identification algorithm can be applied easily to estimate all the parameters of the studied system.

This paper presents the identification of the inverse kinematics of a cylindrical manipulator using identification techniques of Least Squares (LS), Recursive Least Square (RLS), and a dynamic parameter identification algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with search space defined by RLS (RLSPSO). A helical trajectory in the cartesian space is used as input. The dynamic model is found through the Lagrange equation and the motion equations, which are used to calculate the torque values of each joint. The torques are calculated from the values of the inverse kinematics, identified by each algorithm and from the manipulator joint speeds and accelerations. The results obtained for the trajectories, speeds, accelerations, and torques of each joint are compared for each algorithm. The computational costs as well as the Multi-Correlation Coefficient ( R 2 ) are computed. The results demonstrated that the identification accuracy of RLSPSO is better than that of LS and PSO. This paper brings an improvement in RLS because it is a method with high complexity, so the proposed method (hybrid) aims to improve the computational cost and the results of the classic RLS.

The model parameters of the lithium-ion battery are of great importance to model-based battery state estimation methods. The fact that parameters change in different rates with operation temperature, state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH) and other factors calls for an online parameter identification algorithm that can track different dynamic characters of the parameters. In this paper, a novel multiple forgetting factor recursive least square (MFFRLS) algorithm was proposed. Forgetting factors were assigned to each parameter, allowing the algorithm to capture the different dynamics of the parameters. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) was utilized to determine the optimal forgetting factors. A state of the art SOC estimator, known as the unscented Kalman filter (UKF), was combined with the online parameter identification to create an accurate estimation of SOC. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified through a driving cycle under constant temperature and three different driving cycles under varied temperature. The single forgetting factor recursive least square (SFFRLS)-UKF and UKF with fixed parameter were also tested for comparison. The proposed MFFRLS-UKF method obtained an accurate estimation of SOC especially when the battery was running in an environment of changing temperature.

In a practice, it often happens that complex engineering systems consist of several interconnected different-type simpler subsystems. An adequate model formulation for every subsystem is impractical due to the complexity of physical processes proceeding in the subsystem. In such cases, a non-detailed black-box model is commonly used. For stationary linear systems (or subsystems), the connection between an input and an output of the black-box is defined by the Volterra integral equation of the first kind with an undetermined difference kernel also known as an impulse response in the automatic control theory. It is necessary to evaluate the unknown impulse response to use the black-box model .This statement is a non-parametric identification problem. For complex systems, the problem needs to be solved both for a whole system and for every isolated subsystem that makes identification substantially complex. Formally, impulse response evaluation is a solution of the integral equation of the first kind for its kernel over registered noise-contaminated discrete input and output values. This problem is ill-posed because of possible solution instability regarding measurement noises in initial data. To find a unique stable solution regularizing algorithms are used, but specific input and output signals in impulse response identification experiments do not allow applying computational methods of these algorithms (system of linear equations or discrete Fourier transformation). In this paper, the authors propose two specific-considering identification algorithms for complex engineering systems. In these algorithms, smoothing cubic splines are used for stable calculation of first derivatives of identified system signals. The results of the complex “Heater-Blower-Room” system identification prove the efficiency of algorithms proposed.

Recently, detection of structural damage based on the system identification has received great attention. In this paper, a technique is proposed for the identification of nonlinear structural parameters under unmeasured excitation. The identification algorithm is based on the extended Kalman filter for the extended state vectors including nonlinear parameters and the recursive least squares estimation for the unknown inputs. Two different models are used to simulate nonlinear structures: One is a 4-storey Duffing-type nonlinear elastic shear-frame structure, the other is a 4-storey Bouc-Wen hysteretic shear-frame structure.Two numerical examples are carried out on the two kinds of models. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach is capable of identifying the nonlinear structural parameters and unknown inputs with good accuracy.

The lower extremity exoskeleton is a device for auxiliary assistance of human movement. The interaction performance between the exoskeleton and the human is determined by the lower extremity exoskeleton’s controller. The performance of the controller is affected by the accuracy of the dynamic equation. Therefore, it is necessary to study the dynamic parameter identification of lower extremity exoskeleton. The existing dynamic parameter identification algorithms for lower extremity exoskeletons are generally based on Least Square (LS). There are some internal drawbacks, such as complicated experimental processes and low identification accuracy. A dynamic parameter identification algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with search space defined by Recursive Least Square (RLS) is developed in this investigation. The developed algorithm is named RLS-PSO. By defining the search space of PSO, RLS-PSO not only avoids the convergence of identified parameters to the local minima, but also improves the identification accuracy of exoskeleton dynamic parameters. Under the same experimental conditions, the identification accuracy of RLS-PSO, PSO and LS was quantitatively compared and analyzed. The results demonstrated that the identification accuracy of RLS-PSO is higher than that of LS and PSO.

An implicit H∞ self-tuning control scheme is presented. Costing of the system error and control signals is achieved using a dynamic cost function. The H∞ optimal solution to this problem is obtained using a recursive least square identification algorithm. The simple procedure for calculating the controller, without solving any diophantine equations, make this method particularly suitable for self-tuning control applications.

Математические модели многих технических систем имеют вид интегрального уравнения Вольтерра I рода с разностным ядром. Для таких систем задача идентификации заключается в построении оценки для импульсной переходной функции системы по измеренным (с шумами) значениям входного и выходного сигналов и является некорректно поставленной. В недавней работе авторов предложен устойчивый алгоритм идентификации, использующий аппарат сглаживающих кубических сплайнов для вычисления первых производных входного и выходного сигналов. К сожалению, сглаживающие кубические сплайны неудовлетворительно фильтруют аномальные измерения. Поэтому предложен двухшаговый алгоритм идентификации, на первом шаге которого аномальные измерения удаляются с использованием пространственно-локального фильтра, а затем строятся сглаживающие сплайны Volterra integral equation of the first kind often represents stationary dynamic systems. For such a model, the non-parametric identification problem reduces to the estimation of pulse transition characteristics (that is the kernel of integral equation) from the registered noise-contaminated values of input and output signals. To formulate stable solution for identification problem authors propose algorithm that estimates pulse transition characteristics by solving Volterra integral equation of the second kind and involving first derivatives of input and output signals application that corresponds to non-stable problem. Smoothing cubic splines employed in robust calculation of first derivatives allow finding a stable solution of identification problem even when input and output signals of system identified are essentially noise-contaminated. Unfortunately, measured values of input and output signals also contain anomalous measurements such as pulse noises, glitches, etc. Such measurements are poorly smoothable by splines that cause high levels of first derivatives errors and, conversely, significant pulse transition characteristics identification errors of dynamic system. For all the reasons aforementioned, in this paper authors present the new stable two-step identification algorithm in case of anomalous measurements. The first step of the algorithm is for non-linear local-spatial combined filtration procedure of input and output signals that helps to effectively remove anomalous measurements. At the second step, smoothing cubic splines are used to calculate stable first derivatives of previously filtered signals. An extensive computational experiment showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, which allows solving the identification problem with acceptable accuracy in practice even at high intensity of anomalous measurements. The experimental results give reason to recommend this algorithm for solving practical problems of identifying stationary systems, the mathematical model of which is the Voltaire integral equation of the first kind with a difference kernel

For autonomous landing powered parafoils, the ability to perform a final flare maneuver against the wind direction can generate a considerable reduction of lateral and longitudinal velocities at impact, enabling a soft landing for a safe delivery of sensible loads. To realize accurate, soft landing in the unknown wind environment, an in-flight wind identification algorithm is first proposed. The wind direction and speed can be obtained online by only using the GPS sampling data based on the recursive least square method. Moreover, the 3D trajectory tracking strategy for the powered parafoil is also established, which is globally asymptotically stable. Furthermore, the lateral trajectory tracking controller and longitudinal altitude controller based on active disturbance rejection control are presented, respectively. Eventually, results from simulations demonstrate that the proposed landing control method can effectively realize accurate soft landing in unknown wind environments with the in-flight wind identification algorithm applied in the trajectory tracking process.
