Abstract

Purpose

Nonlinear system identification heavily relies on the accuracy of nonlinear unit model selection. To improve identification accuracy, the Sparse Bayesian Learning method is incorporated into the nonlinear subspace. Enhanced nonlinear subspace identification is proposed.

Methods

The nonlinear term in the system is treated as an internal excitation. By applying low-level excitation, the response of the structure can be approximated as linear, allowing for the determination of the linear frequency response function of the structure. High-level excitation is then applied to separate the response caused by intrinsic nonlinear force excitation. The type of nonlinearity is evaluated using Spike-and-Slab Priors for Sparse Bayesian Learning. Finally, the screened nonlinear elements are substituted into subspace identification to determine nonlinear parameters.

Results

The effectiveness of this method in dealing with nonlinear stiffness and dam** is verified through a simulation example and its robustness is further discussed. Experiments on negative stiffness systems also demonstrate the method's good applicability when dealing with complex dam**.

Conclusion

Incorporating the Sparse Bayesian Learning method into the nonlinear subspace significantly improves the accuracy of nonlinear system identification. The proposed approach effectively deals with nonlinear stiffness and dam**, as validated by simulation results. The method's robustness is further demonstrated through extensive discussions, while experiments on negative stiffness systems showcase its applicability in complex dam** scenarios.
