Nearly three decades back nonlinear system identification consisted of several ad-hoc approaches, which were restricted to a very limited class of systems. However, with the advent of the various soft computing methodologies like neural networks and the fuzzy logic combined with optimization techniques, a wider class of systems can be handled.
This dissertation is concerned with the problem of determining the dynamic characteristics of complicated engineering systems and structures from the measurements made during dynamic tests or natural excitations. Particular attention is given to the identification and modeling of the behavior of structural dynamic systems in the nonlinear hysteretic response regime.
Interest in nonlinear system identification has grown significantly in recent years. It is much more difficult to develop general results than the concern for linear models since the nonlinear model structures are often much more complicated. As a consequence, the thesis only considers two different kinds of models, one is a type of state space.
A nonlinear system is defined as any system that is not linear, that is any system that does not satisfy the superposition principle. This negative definition tends to obscure that there are very many different types of nonlinear systems. Historically, system identification for nonlinear systems has developed by focusing on specific classes of.
Stochastic nonlinear systems are a specific class of nonlinear systems where unknown disturbances affect the system's output through a nonlinear transformation. In general, the identification of parametric models for this kind of systems can be very challenging. A main statistical inference technique for parameter estimation is the Maximum Likelihood estimator. The central object of this.
Nearly three decades back nonlinear system identification consisted of several ad-hoc approaches, which were restricted to a very limited class of systems. However, with the advent of the various soft computing methodologies like neural networks and the fuzzy logic combined with optimization techniques, a wider class of systems can be handled at present.
NOTE: Text or symbols not renderable in plain ASCII are indicated by (.). Abstract is included in .pdf document. For linear systems, robust analysis techniques are well developed. For non-linear systems, they are not. Most nonlinear analysis techniques use extensive simulation to examine system performance. However, these simulations do not give guarantees, they only describe local performance.
This research addresses the linear and nonlinear system. identification using the. software package MATLAB with the System Identification Toolbox. LabVIEW has been used for the experiment control and the data acquisition. The experiment for the system identification can be divided into two parts: the linear system part and the nonlinear system.
System identification is the art of modelling of a process (physical, biological, etc.) or to predict its behaviour or output when the environment condition or parameter changes. One is modelling the input-output relationship of a system, for example, linking temperature of a greenhouse (output) to the sunlight intensity (input), power of a car engine (output) with fuel injection rate (input).
Nonlinear System Identification: NARMAX Methods in the Time, Frequency, and Spatio-Temporal Domains describes a comprehensive framework for the identification and analysis of nonlinear dynamic systems in the time, frequency, and spatio-temporal domains. This book is written with an emphasis on making the algorithms accessible so that they can.
