Abstract:

Structural system identification using recursive methods has been a research direction of increasing interest in recent decades. The two prominent methods, including the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and the Particle Filter (PF), also known as the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), are advantageous in this field. In this study, the system identification of a shake table test of a 4-story steel structure subjected to the base excitation has been implemented using these methods by considering the modeling and material model uncertainties. Implementing the 2D and 3D modelings, using the “parallelogram” and “scissors” methods for the modeling of panel zones and that of the wall panels by two methods (using beam-column elements and equivalent diagonal strut elements), are the assumptions of this study. Using the parallelogram method has resulted in fewer errors in the 2D modeling while implementing different methods for simulation of wall panels has had no specific achievements. As illustrated in the results, more significant uncertainties were expected in systems with highly nonlinear behavior, since the equivalent linearization was used to estimate the system states in the EKF method. However, this method is less time-consuming and gives more accurate results in comparison with the PF method, in which a lrge number of samples are required for the system identification.

Robot Localization Using Bayesian Methods and the Extended Kalman Filter

This paper addresses the fundamental problem of estimating a mobile robot’s position and orientation within a known map or environment. We present a stochastic model for robot localiztion using Bayesian methods and leveraging the Markov or the complete state assumption. The feasability of this model is demonsted by implemening and simulating it using the Extended Kalman Filter. We show through ...

Extended Kalman Filter Tutorial

In the following we assume that the random vector wk captures uncertainties in the model and vk denotes the measurement noise. Both are temporally uncorrelated (white noise), zero-mean random sequences with known covariances and both of them are uncorrelated with the initial state x0. E[wk] = 0 E[wkw T k ] = Qk E[wkw T j ] = 0 for k 6= j E[wkx T 0 ] = 0 for all k (3) E[vk] = 0 E[vkv T k ] = Rk ...

Discrete - time Kalman Filter and the Particle Filter

A discrete-time system is a process that transforms input discrete-time signals into output discretetime signals. Simply stated, it takes an input sequence and produces an output sequence. Such a system usually takes the form of xk = Fk−1xk−1 +Gk−1uk−1 +wk−1, (1) where the n-vectors xk and xk−1 are the states at the current and previous time steps, the l-vector uk is a known input, and the n-ve...

Performance Comparison of the Distributed Extended Kalman Filter and Markov Chain Distributed Particle Filter (MCDPF) ?

We compare the performance of two distributed nonlinear estimators for a multivehicle flocking system using range measurements only. The estimators are the Distributed Extended Kalman Filter (DEKF) and the Markov Chain Distributed Particle Filter (MCDPF), where the distributed implementation in both cases is done using consensus-type algorithms. The performance of the estimators is compared as ...
