Abstract
A new approach for time-varying (TV) modal parameters identification is proposed in this research. In the identification process, the entire signal is divided into successive short time windows, where the structure response under white noise excitation is transformed into modal coordinates by the Independent Component Analysis (ICA) method. The decoupled time-varying Auto-Regressive Moving-Average (ARMA) model based on the new assumption of “short-time linearly varying” (STLV) is established with the extracted modal coordinates. The TV parameters can be obtained by solving a nonlinear least squares problem. The main motivation of the proposed approach is to simplify the model and reduce the computational difficulty. The effectiveness and accuracy are validated via both the numerical example and experiment.
