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.

A new time-varying multivariate autoregressive (TVMAR) model method for modal parameter identification of linear time-varying (TV) systems with multi-output is introduced. Besides, a modified recursive least square method based on the traditional one is presented to determine the coefficient matrices of the TVMAR model. In the proposed method, multi-dimensional nonstationary response signals of the vibrating system can be processed simultaneously. Not only the TV modal frequency and damping ratio of the system, but also the changing behavior of the mode shape in the course of vibration are identified by the proposed procedure. Numerical simulations, in which a three-degree-of-freedom system with TV stiffness is respectively subjected to impulse excitation and white noise excitation, are presented. The validity and accuracy of the method are demonstrated by the good simulation results.

This paper is concerned with the identification problem of two degree of freedom robot arm’s joints’ time-varying stiffness. The dynamic equation of two degrees of freedom robot arm can be obtained by using analytical mechanics method. Then by choosing limited memory least square method, time-varying stiffness can be identified. Finally, the calculative stiffness is compared to the “real” stiffness which is simulated in ADAMS. The whole process shows that the robot arm’s dynamic model and the method of identification are both effective.

Many engineering structures, such as cranes, traffic-excited bridges, flexible mechanisms and robotic devices exhibit characteristics that vary with time and are referred to as time-varying or nonstationary. In particular, linear time-varying (LTV) systems have been often dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Many concepts and analytic methods of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems cannot be applied to LTV systems, as for example the conventional definition of modal parameters. In fact, LTV systems violate one of the assumptions of the conventional modal analysis, which is stationarity.Subspace-based identification methods, proposed in the 1970s, have been attracting much attention due to their affinity to the modern control theory, which is based on the state space model. These methods are now successfully applied to many industrial cases and may be considered reference methods for identifying LTI systems.In this paper the use of a subspace-based method for identifying LTV systems is discussed and applied to both numerical and experimental systems. More precisely a modified version of the SSI method, referred to here as ST-SSI (Short Time Stochastic Subspace Identification) is introduced as well as a method for predicting time-varying stochastic systems using the angle variation between the subspaces; the latter is able to predict the system parameter in the “near” future.

In this paper, a model-free method for time-varying dynamic measurements in a control system is presented. As an example, the dynamic mass-measurement process is examined. The method is based on the on-line estimation of time-varying parameters of autoregressive model by a recursive least square method with a constant trace of the covariance matrix. The model order selection is performed by Akaike’s information criteria. The performance of the method with respect to the variance of measurement noise is empirically tested by simulation experiments. For the aim of comparison, the Kalman filter for estimation of unknown measurement is designed. The simulation results show the advantage of the model-free method.

Forensic analysis in this case involves the design of a communication system intended for use in Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) drive-thru lanes. This paper provides an overview of QSR communication system components and operation and introduces communication systems and channels. This paper provides an overview of non-linear, time-varying system design as contrasted with linear, time-invariant systems and discusses best design practices. It also provides the details of how audio quality was defined and compared for two potentially competing systems. Conclusions include that one of the systems was clearly inferior to the other — mainly due to not following design techniques that were available at the time of the project.

Abstract This paper is concerned with a linear time-delay circuit and its feedback control. We use electronic components such as resistors and capacitors to realize a linear time-delay system. The time-delays are generated by operational amplifiers and single-chip microcomputers. Based on the actual data measured by the oscilloscope, the parameters of the system are estimated using the least square method. Then a comparison study between the waveform image measured by the oscilloscope and the numerical simulation obtained by MATLAB verifies the effectiveness of the parameters estimations of the circuit system. Furthermore, the circuit system is unstable with a large time-delay, a feedback controller is designed to stabilize the circuit system using the optimization method in the literature. Finally, the experimental results in the linear time-delay circuit show the effectiveness of the optimization method.

SUMMARYAutonomous operation of mechanical systems often requires the ability to detect and locate a particular phenomenon occurring in the surrounding environment. Being implemented to articulated manipulation, such a capability may realize a wide range of applications in autonomous maintenance and repair. This paper presents the sensor-driven task space control of an end-effector that combines the field estimation and the target tracking in an unknown spatial field of interest. The radial basis function network is adopted to model spatial distribution of an environmental phenomenon as a scalar field. Their weight parameters are estimated by a recursive least square method using collective measurements from the on-board sensors mounted to the manipulator. Then the asymptotic source tracking has been achieved by the control law based on the gradient of the estimated field. A new singularity tolerant scheme has been suggested to command the task space control law despite singular configurations. Simulation results using the three-link planar robot and the 6-revolute elbow manipulator are presented to validate the main ideas.
