Recent work with autonomous modal parameter estimation has shown great promise in the quality of the modal parameter estimation results when compared to results from experienced user interaction using traditional methods. Current research with the Common Statistical Subspace Autonomous Mode Identification (CSSAMI) procedure involves the integration of multiple modal parameter estimation algorit...

In this paper, a fast frequency domain global modal parameter identification algorithm is proposed. The modal parameters are identified with amplitude square of FRF instead of its traditional real part & imaginary part. By discrete transformation, all additional pseudo roots are reciprocal of the real roots and their conjugates. The physical roots can be separated from mathematical roots with s...

In this paper the techniques of evolutionary system identification are implemented in the parametric, time domain identification of a flexible robotic arm. More specifically, the (μ+λ) Evolution Strategy (ES) is used for the estimation of both ARMA and ARMAX models, by means of Prediction-Error method (PEM), capable to describe system’s dynamics in the absence or existence of an input data set,...

This paper investigates the use of temporal lip information, in conjunction with speech information, for robust, text-dependent speaker identification. We propose that significant speakerdependent information can be obtained from moving lips, enabling speaker recognition systems to be highly robust in the presence of noise. The fusion structure for the audio and visual information is based arou...

A method for the identification of multiple cracks based on Discrete Wavelet Transform is presented. The analysis is provided on beams made of polymeric laminate. The estimation of the crack locations is based on the evaluation of natural modal shapes of pre-cracked beams. The modal shapes were estimated experimentally using laser Doppler vibrometry. The dynamic response of multi-cracked beams ...

The vibration data obtained from ambient, drop-weight, and shaker excitation tests of the Z24 Bridge in Switzerland are analyzed to extract modal parameters such as natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes. System identification techniques including Frequency Domain Decomposition and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm are employed for the extraction of modal parameters and the statio...

A time-frequency identification technique based on wavelet transform is formulated and applied to free-decay responses of linear systems with non-proportional viscous damping. The Cauchy mother wavelet is used. Frequencies, modal damping ratios and complex mode shapes are identified from output-only free vibration signals. This identification technique has also shown to be effective when the (n...

The paper presents how direct estimation of the modal coordinate time series can be performed using a time domain subspace based system identification method. The method overcomes the traditional limitation on maximum number of modal coordinates to be estimated being less or equal to the applied number of sensors. This is achieved by utilizing the information on system order inherent in the sta...

the present paper sets out to investigate the syntactic category of persian modals, šâyad ‘perhaps’ and bâyad ‘must’. the syntactic category of the two modal elements has been viewed differently by different scholars. a number of scholars argue that both šâyad and bâyad are modal auxiliaries, while others claim that they both are modal adverbs. we propose that šâyad is a modal adverb and bâyad ...

Though Blind Source Separation (BSS) techniques have typically been applied within Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) framework, there joint diagonalization property can also be utilized within traditional input-output Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) for the purpose of modal parameter estimation. This paper explores this possibility and suggests an approach to achieve the same. The paper presen...
