The present work is concerned by modal identification of time-varying systems. For this purpose, a method based on instantaneous frequency identification and synchronous demodulation is used to extract modal components from recorded signals. The proposed method of iterated sifting process is based on the Hilbert Vibration Decomposition (HVD) technique which is used to extract the instantaneous ...

The random decrement (RD) technique is a time domain procedure, where the structural responses to operational loads are transformed into random decrement functions, which are proportional to the correlation functions of the system operational responses or can, equivalently, be considered as free vibration responses. This paper presents a general review on the application of the RD technique in ...

in this paper, a structural damage identification method (sdim) is developed for plate-like structures. this method is derived using dynamic equation of undamaged/damaged plate, in which local change in flexural rigidity is characterized utilizing a damage distribution function. the sdim requires to modal data in the intact state and frequency response of damage state where most of vibration ba...

In this paper, a novel method for linear normal mode identification based on Blind Source Separation (BSS) is introduced. Modal coordinates are considered as a specific case of sources that have certain time structure. This structure can be identified by many BSS algorithms. However, algorithms based on second order statistics are particularly suited for the linear normal mode identification. T...

Abstract The identification of the modal parameters from frequency response functions is a subject that is not new. However, the starting point often comes from the equations that govern the dynamic motion. In this paper, a novel approach is shown, resulting from an analysis that starts on the dissipated energy per cycle of vibration. Numerical and experimental examples were used in order to as...

Fractional identification of rotor skin effect in induction machines is presented in this paper. Park‘s transformation is used to obtain a system of differential equations which allows to include the skin effect in the rotor bars of asynchronous machines. A transfer function with a f ractional derivative order has been selected to represent the admittance of the bar by the help of a non integer...

in the present paper, we are to put forth a paradigm for the systematic study of modality in persian.with this end in view, we consider modality as a linguistic phenomenon that can be expressed at the level of sentence, at the level of constituents smaller than sentence and/or at the level of discourse. in such a system where sentential modality, sub-sentential modality and discourse modality a...

suhrawardi’s logic of the hikmat al-ishraq is basically modal. so to understand his modal logic one first has to know the non-modal part upon which his modal logic is built. in my previous paper ‘suhrawardi on syllogisms’(3) i discussed the former in detail. the present paper is an exposition of his treatment of modal syllogisms. on the basis of some reasonable existential presuppositions and a...

Sahlqvist correspondence theory [3], [4] is one of the most important and useful results of classical modal logic. It gives a syntactic identification of a class of modal formulas whose associated normal modal logics are strongly complete with respect to elementary (i.e. first-order definable) classes of frames. Every Sahlqvist formula is both canonical and corresponds to some elementary frame ...

In this paper, we present ISL person identification systems in the CLEAR 2007 evaluations. The identification systems consist of a face recognition system, a speaker identification system and a multi-modal identification system that combines the individual systems. The experimental results show that the face recognition system outperforms the speaker identification system significantly on the s...
