Nonlinear MDOF System Characterization and Identification using the Hilbert- Huang Transform: Experimental Demonstration
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Hilbert transform is one of the most successful approaches to tracking the varying nature of vibration of a large class of nonlinear systems, thanks to the extraction of backbone curves from experimental data. Because signals with multiple frequency components do not admit a well-behaved Hilbert transform, this transform is inherently limited to the analysis of single-degree-of-freedom systems; this shortcoming is potentially overcome by the Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT). In this study, the joint application of the complexification-averaging method and the HHT enables us to develop a new technique, the slow-flow model identification method. Through an experimental application, we demonstrate that the proposed method is adequate for characterizing and identifying multi-degreeof-freedom nonlinear systems.

Survey of Nonlinear Detection and Identification Techniques for Experimental Vibrations
Nonlinear structural dynamic system identification is often more a subjective art than it is a direct application of some particular method in systems theory. The nonlinear problem is subjective because although there are many analytical methods from which to choose, there is no general approach to detect, characterise, or model input-output relationships in nonlinear systems. This paper is a s...
متن کاملNonlinear and Non-stationary Vibration Analysis for Mechanical Fault Detection by Using EMD-FFT Method
The Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a powerful method for nonlinear and non-stationary vibrations analysis. This approach consists of two basic parts of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert spectral analysis (HSA). To achieve the reliable results, Bedrosian and Nuttall theorems should be satisfied. Otherwise, the phase and amplitude functions are mixed together and consequently, the ...
متن کاملA Time-Frequency approach for EEG signal segmentation
The record of human brain neural activities, namely electroencephalogram (EEG), is generally known as a non-stationary and nonlinear signal. In many applications, it is useful to divide the EEGs into segments within which the signals can be considered stationary. Combination of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert transform, called Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT), is a new and powerful ...
متن کاملA technique to improve the empirical mode decomposition in the Hilbert-Huang transform
The Hilbert-based time-frequency analysis has promising capacity to reveal the time-variant behaviors of a system. To admit well-behaved Hilbert transforms, component decomposition of signals must be performed beforehand. This was first systematically implemented by the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) in the Hilbert-Huang transform, which can provide a time-frequency representation of the si...
متن کاملSimple Identification of Nonlinear Modal Parameters Using Wavelet Transform
Estimation of the modal parameters of mechanical systems or structures is usually achieved by applying the well-known Frequency Response Function (FRF) method to experimental data obtained from free vibration after a shock excitation of the system or forced vibration using a variety of excitation signals. This method is however limited only to linear systems. The problem becomes more complex wh...
