Abstract: This note describes an approach to the problem of identifying linearized journal bearing dynamics using data acquired under normal operating conditions. The basic problem is reformulated so that ...

Abstract: In this paper an approach is described to identifying the damping law of an electro-rheological (ER) fluid in vibration. The damping law is obtained by employing a nonlinear, sequential filter ...

Abstract: In this paper the authors present a linear, least-squares, frequency domain filter for the identification of structural vibration parameters, such as mass, stiffness, and damping, from observed ...
