Frequency domain blind MIMO system identification based on second- and higher order statistics

Abstract: We present a novel frequency-domain framework for the identification of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system driven by white, mutually independent, unobservable inputs. The system frequency response is obtained based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of a matrix constructed based on the power-spectrum and slices of polyspectra of the system output. By appropriately selecting the polyspectra slices, we can create a set of such matrices, each of which could independently yield the solution, of they could all be combined in a joint diagonalization scheme to yield a solution with improved statistical performance. The freedom to select the polyspectra slices allows us to bypass the frequency-dependent permutation ambiguity that is usually associated with frequency domain SVD, while at the same time allows us compute and cancel the phase ambiguity. An asymptotic consistency analysis of the system magnitude response estimate is performed.

Primary resonance analysis and vibration suppression for the harmonically excited nonlinear suspension system using a pair of symmetric viscoelastic buffers

Abstract: To reduce the severity of high-magnitude vibrations and shock, end-stop buffers was used for the most suspension cabs or seats of work vehicles. This paper employs a pair of symmetric linear viscoelastic end-stops to improve the performance of a single-degree-of-freedom nonlinear suspension system under primary resonance conditions, which has cubic nonlinearity. Firstly, a piecewise symmetry tri-nonlinear model is introduced. The frequency response of relative displacement corresponding to the steady-state motion is obtained by applying the multiple-scale method, which is found to be the same with the averaging method solution. And it is further verified by numerical simulation. Its stability is then studied. Subsequently, a design criterion is proposed for jump avoidance, which is caused by the saddle-node bifurcation. Also, parametric studies are carried out to illustrate effects of design parameters for the end-stop on the isolation performance at primary resonance, including responses of the relative displacement and the absolute acceleration. The results show that with dynamic parameters properly designed by using viscoelastic end-stops, the relative displacement response can be effectively suppressed and the jump can be eliminated for both hardening and softening primary isolators. Besides, the end-stop can effectively attenuate the absolute acceleration response for a hardening primary isolator, while more damping is needed to attenuate that for a softening primary isolator, although the degree of the softening nonlinearity is mitigated. It is suggested that a moderate stiffness compared to that of the primary isolator and also a high damping of the end-stop be beneficial to both vibration isolation and jump avoidance under primary resonance conditions.
