Nonlinear System Identification through Backbone curves and Bayesian Interference
نویسنده
چکیده
Nonlinear structures exhibit complex behaviors that can be predicted and analyzed once a mathematical model of the structure is available. Obtaining such a model is a challenge. Several works in the literature suggest different methods for the identification of nonlinear structures. Some of the methods only address the question of whether the system is linear or not, other are more suitable for localize the source of nonlinearity in the structure, only a few suggest some quantification of the nonlinear terms. Despite the effort made in this field, there are several limits in the identification methods suggested so far, especially when the identification of a multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) nonlinear structure is required. This work presents a novel method for the identification of nonlinear structures. The method is based on estimating backbone curves and the relation between backbone curves and the response of the system in the frequency domain. Using a Bayesian framework alongside Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, nonlinear model parameters were inferred from the backbone curves of the response and the Second Order Nonlinear Normal Forms which gives a relationship between the model and the backbone curve. The potential advantage of this method is that it is both efficient from a computation and from an experimental point of view and it allows the output-only system identification of MDOF nonlinear systems.

Fast Bayesian identification of a class of elastic weakly nonlinear systems using backbone curves
This paper introduces a method for the identification of the parameters of nonlinear structures using a probabilistic Bayesian framework, employing a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. This approach uses analytical models to describe the unforced, undamped dynamic responses of structures in the frequency–amplitude domain, known fitted to measured responses, found using the resonant-decay metho...
متن کاملNonlinear model identification and spectral submanifolds for multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical vibrations
In a nonlinear oscillatory system, spectral submanifolds (SSMs) are the smoothest invariant manifolds tangent to linear modal subspaces of an equilibrium. Amplitude-frequency plots of the dynamics on SSMs provide the classic backbone curves sought in experimental nonlinear model identification. We develop here, a methodology to compute analytically both the shape of SSMs and their corresponding...
متن کاملNonlinear MDOF System Characterization and Identification using the Hilbert- Huang Transform: Experimental Demonstration
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 syst...
متن کاملUnderstanding the dynamics of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems using backbone curves
In this paper we will describe how backbone curves can be used to explain complex dynamic phenomena that can occur in coupled multi-degree-of-freedom physical systems. Three examples will be used to demonstrate some key points. We will describe cases when backbone curves can be decoupled. In the case of nonlinear resonance (or modal interaction) we explain how to distinguish how many modes are ...
