Simple harmonic motion was investigated of a rotational oscillating system. The effect of dumping and forcing on motion of the system was examined and measurements were taken. Resonance in a oscillating system was investigated and quality factor of the dumping system was measured at different damping forces using three different methods. Resonance curves were constructed at two different damping forces. A probabilistic model was built and system parameters were estimated from the resonance curves using Stan sampling platform. The quality factor of the oscillating system when the additional dumping was turned off was estimated to be $Q = \num{71 \pm 1}$ and natural frequency $\omega_0 = \num{3.105 \pm 0.008}\, \si{\per\second}$.

Parameter estimation is an important topic in the field of system identification. This paper explores the role of a new information theory measure of data dependency in parameter estimation problems. Causation entropy is a recently proposed information-theoretic measure of influence between components of multivariate time series data. Because causation entropy measures the influence of one dataset upon another, it is naturally related to the parameters of a dynamical system. In this paper, it is shown that by numerically estimating causation entropy from the outputs of a dynamic system, it is possible to uncover the internal parametric structure of the system and thus establish the relative magnitude of system parameters. In the simple case of linear systems subject to Gaussian uncertainty, it is first shown that causation entropy can be represented in closed form as the logarithm of a rational function of system parameters. For more general systems, a causation entropy estimator is proposed, which allows causation entropy to be numerically estimated from measurement data. Results are provided for discrete linear and nonlinear systems, thus showing that numerical estimates of causation entropy can be used to identify the dependencies between system states directly from output data. Causation entropy estimates can therefore be used to inform parameter estimation by reducing the size of the parameter set or to generate a more accurate initial guess for subsequent parameter optimization.

Summary The equation of motion of the seismometer and the galvanometer in an electromagnetic seismograph has been derived in the most general form taking into consideration all the forces acting on the system except that produced by hysteresis. A general solution has been derived assuming that the earth or the seismometer frame is subjected to a sustained simple harmonic motion, and expressions for both the transient and the steady term in the solution have been given. The results for the particular case when the seismograph satisfies the Galitzin conditions can easily be deduced from the results given in the present paper. The results can now be used to study the response characteristics of all electromagnetic seismographs, whether they satisfy the Galitzin conditions or not, and will thus give an accurate theoretical picture of the response also of seismographs used for the study of “local earthquakes” and “microseisms” which do not in general obey the Galitzin conditions. The results obtained can also be used to get analytically the response of the seismographs for different types of earth motion from the very beginning, and not only after the transient term has disappeared. The theory of the response to simple tests used to determine the dynamic magnification of any seismograph and also to determine and check regularly the instrumental constants of the seismographs has been worked out. The results obtained can also be used for ascertaining the proper values of the instrumental constants suitable for the various purposes for which the seismographs are to be used.

The stability and robustness of quadrotors are always influenced by unknown or immeasurable system parameters. This paper proposes a novel adaptive parameter estimation technology to obtain high-accuracy parameter estimation for quadrotors. A typical mathematical model of quadrotors is first obtained, which can be used for parameter estimation. Then, an expression of the parameter estimation error is derived by introducing a set of auxiliary filtered variables. Moreover, an augmented matrix is constructed based on the obtained auxiliary filtered variables, which is then used to design new adaptive laws to achieve exponential convergence under the standard persistent excitation (PE) condition. Finally, a simulation and an experimental verification for a typical quadrotor system are shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
