Output-only identification and dynamic analysis of time-varying mechanical structures under random excitation: A comparative assessment of parametric methods

This article addresses the problem of parametric time-domain identification and dynamic analysis for time-varying (TV) mechanical structures under unobservable random excitation. The methods presented are based on time-dependent autoregressive moving average (TARMA) models, and are classified according to the mathematical structure imposed on the TV parameter evolution as unstructured parameter evolution, stochastic parameter evolution, and deter ministic parameter evolution. The features and relative merits of each class are outlined. A representativ e method from each is then assessed through its application to the identification and dynamic analysis o f a laboratory TV structure consisting of a beam with a mass moving on it. The results are mutually compared and contrasted to those obtained through “frozen-configuration” (multiple experiment) bas eline identification.
