System identification is the process of developing or improving a mathematical representation of a physical system using experimental data. Over the past decade, several system identification techniques have been developed within different disciplines. This text/reference brings together the significant advances over the past decade into a single unified source — with common mathematical notation that will enable readers from a variety of engineering areas — e.g., aerospace, electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering —to apply system identification to engineering systems.
Focuses on the three types of identification in engineering structures — modal parameter identification; structuralmodel parameter identification; and controlmodel identification. For researchers and engineers, students, and teachers in vibrations, controls and system identification.
