“…An interesting estimation technique of variable load torque for a DC motor with separately excited field winding, with two independent control voltage inputs, by using mechanical power estimations and assuming known parameters, is also presented in Sira‐Ramírez et al Similarly, estimation of stepwise changing constant load torque for an armature‐controlled permanent‐magnet DC motor has been well addressed in Linares‐Flores et al, where it has been considered that system parameters are known as well. In García‐Rodríguez et al, algebraic parametric identification has been also applied to identify the parameters of a mechanical suspension represented as a linear mass‐spring‐damper vibrating system of one degree of freedom subjected to a constant perturbation force, where computer simulation results show a satisfactory performance. In the context of vibration control, algebraic schemes have been proposed for online estimation of parameters and excitation forces of vibrating mechanical systems with multiple degrees of freedom by Beltran‐Carbajal et al (see, eg, other works() and references therein).…”
