Large damping levels, low signal to noise ratio, and low frequency resolution can cause difficulties for current SDOF SISO algorithms that identify natural frequency, modal damping ratio, and the residue associated with each eigenvalue. This paper offers an alternative technique that through a change of variables leads to a set of linear equations for the complex eigenvalue and residue. The app...

This paper reviews two different uses of the continuous wavelet transform for modal identification purposes. The properties of the wavelet transform, mainly energetic, allow to emphasize or filter the main information within measured signals and thus facilitate the modal parameter identification especially when mechanical systems exhibit modal coupling and/or relatively strong damping.

This paper reports an analytical method to obtain approximate solution for optimal design of tuned inerter damper (TID) in MDOF damped civil structures. The is based on the equivalent linearization which converts mass-stiffness-damping system into a mass-equivalent stiffness and technique modal subsystem structure-TID SDOF system. procedures systems are introduced. Following this, proposed veri...

shear modulus and damping ratio are important input parameters in dynamic analysis. a series of resonant column tests was carried out on pure clays and sand-clay mixtures prepared at different densities to investigate the effects of aggregate content, confining stress, void ratio and clay plasticity on the maximum shear modulus and minimum damping ratio. test results revealed an increase in the...

Modal parameters of power transformer winding are closely related to transformer manufacturing and detection technology of winding deformation based on vibration analysis method. Aimed at identifying the modal parameters of transformer winding accurately, a modal experiment is designed and made on a real 10 kV power transformer. An improved Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) algorithm is propos...

Hermetic rotary compressors are one of the most important components in air-conditioners and refrigerators since they control both the performance and noise level of these products. Noise and vibration control of hermetic compressors should start with the identification of their sources of noise and vibration since the noise sources within a compressor play a determining role in the noise radia...

In the present paper the behavior of an elastically mounted cylinder in low and high mass-damping ratio is investigated. For high mass-damping ratio, a classical wake oscillator model is used. At the first, by neglecting all damping and nonlinear terms of this model, the possibility of using a linear model for determination of the lock-in range and the dominant mode is investigated. Then, w...

This dissertation reports a systematic study on analysis and identification of multiple parameter damped mechanical systems. The attention is focused on viscously and non-viscously damped multiple degree-offreedom linear vibrating systems. The non-viscous damping model is such that the damping forces depend on the past history of motion via convolution integrals over some kernel functions. The ...
