Abstract
Use of Volterra series in nonlinear system identification is well established now. The series represents response of a nonlinear system in a functional series form consisting of convolution integrals involving higher-order impulse response functions known as Volterra kernels. Multi-dimensional Fourier transforms of these Volterra kernels give the higher-order frequency response functions (FRFs). The measurement of these FRFs under harmonic excitation and their relationship with the first-order FRFs provide a basis for estimation of the nonlinear parameters. However, most of the methods employ single-tone excitation, which provide limited FRF measurement in a single experiment. In the present study, a novel procedure based on multi-tone excitation is presented for a typical Duffing oscillator and it is demonstrated that accurate estimation of both nonlinear and linear parameters is possible with fewer number of experiments.
