A new form to carry out stochastic identification of structures in operational conditions using a non recursive method, the statistic analysis and the wavelet transform, is presented. The statistic analysis contributed to select the best system order and to automation of computational procedures. In general the identification of low frequencies is a difficult task. The wavelet transform is an essential tool for compression of data making possible the complete identification including low frequencies. In addition it improves the computational efficiency. The study of four degrees of freedom simulated system is presented and the results are compared with the analytical modal parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
