Nonlinear system identification is a vast research field, today attracting a great deal of
attention in the structural dynamics community. Ten years ago, an MSSP paper reviewing …

Experimental modal analysis is commonly used to identify models for the vibratory behavior
of structures. This is done by conducting a set of experiments to obtain the structure's …

Assembled structures are nonlinear. The sources of this nonlinearity could include the
jointed interfaces, damage and wear, non-idealized boundary conditions, or other features …

The objective of the present paper is to develop a two-step methodology integrating system
identification and numerical continuation for the experimental extraction of nonlinear normal …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health concern, affecting as many as 3 million
people each year in the US Despite substantial research efforts in recent years, our physical …

In nonlinear system identification, one of the main challenges is how to select a nonlinear
model. The accuracy of nonlinear subspace identification depends on the accuracy of the …

A hybrid control strategy for an electro-hydraulic control loading system (EHCLS) of a flight
simulator in the presence of a control mechanism kinetic parameter perturbation is proposed …

Testing nonlinear structures to characterise their internal nonlinear forces is challenging.
Often nonlinear structures are excited by harmonic forces and yield a multi-harmonic …

The identification of nonlinearities that have a significant impact on dynamic behaviour of
complex mechanical structures is necessary for ensuring structural efficiency and safety. A …

In this work, we propose a new nonlinear model updating strategy based on global/local
nonlinear system identification of the dynamics. The main objective of this study is to …
