Improved parameter identification using additional spectral information

Abstract Spectral information such as natural frequencies from a frequency response function has been widely utilized in structural parameter identification problems. Recently the use of other information in the frequency response function, e.g., antiresonant frequencies, is getting attention. This paper presents application of additional spectral information such as antiresonant frequencies and static compliance dominant frequencies to structural parameter identification problems. The existing sensitivity-based system identification technique is extended by adopting the antiresonant frequencies and the static compliance dominant frequencies, and the performance of the approach using additional spectral information is compared with the approach using only natural frequencies via a numerical example of a mechanical system. The results of the numerical study indicate that the use of additional spectral information improves the accuracy in parameter identification.
