Development of adaptive modeling techniques for non-linear hysteretic systems

Adaptive estimation procedures have gained significant attention by the research community to perform real-time identification of non-linear hysteretic structural systems under arbitrary dynamic excitations. Such techniques promise to provide real-time, robust tracking of system response as well as the ability to track time variation within the system being modeled. An overview of some of the authors’ previous work in this area is presented, along with a discussion of some of the emerging issues being tackled with regard to this class of problems. The trade-offs between parametric-based modeling and non-parametric modeling of non-linear hysteretic dynamic system behavior are discussed. Particular attention is given to (1) the effects of over- and under-parameterization on parameter convergence and system output tracking performance, (2) identifiability in multi-degree-of-freedom structural systems, (3) trade-offs in setting user-defined parameters for adaptive laws, and (4) the effects of noise on measurement integration. Both simulation and experimental results indicating the performance of the parametric and non-parametric methods are presented and their implications are discussed in the context of adaptive structures and structural health monitoring.     

Parametric excitation of waves on a free boundary of a horizontal fluid layer

We consider the dynamical stability of horizontal fluid layer, performing harmonic oscillations in vertical direction. The continued fractions approach allowed us to avoid the conventional restriction to the case of small viscosity and almost-resonant frequencies. Our numerical results cover a wide range of the parameters (viscosity, amplitude and frequency of the oscillation, and depth of the layer). To cite this article: V.I. Yudovich et al., C. R.

Parametric aggregation in ordered weighted averaging

Incorporating further information into the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator weights is investigated in this paper. We first prove that for a constant orness the minimax disparity model [13] has unique optimal solution while the modified minimax disparity model [16] has alternative optimal OWA weights. Multiple optimal solutions in modified minimax disparity model provide us opportunity to define a parametric aggregation OWA which gives flexibility to decision makers in the process of aggregation and selecting the best alternative. Finally, the usefulness of the proposed parametric aggregation method is illustrated with an application in metasearch engine.     

Metric properties of the nearest extended parametric fuzzy number and applications

We propose the notion of extended parametric fuzzy number, which generalizes the extended trapezoidal fuzzy number and parametric fuzzy number, discussed in some recent papers. The metric properties of the nearest extended parametric fuzzy number of a fuzzy number, proved in the present article, help us to obtain the property of continuity for the parametric approximation operator and to simplify the solving of the problems of parametric approximations under conditions.     

Analysis of UWB Echoes Using Bispectrum Model

According to the features of the echoes of the ultra-wide band radar, this paper analyses the estimating effects of choosing the AR model, MA model and ARMA model based on bispectrum. It shows that ARMA model is much better than others. Simulations verify this result, also demonstrate the estimation precision has been improved. ARMA model parametric bispectrum estimation is very efficient to echoes of ultra-wide band radar.     

Holder continuity of solutions to a parametric variational inequality

Parametric Statistical Uncertainty Relations and Parametric Statistical Fundamental Equations

Multivariate parametric statistical uncertainty relations are proved to specify multivariate basic parametric statistical models. The relations are expressed by inequalities. They generally show that we cannot exactly determine simultaneously both a function of observation objects and a parametric statistical model in a compound parametric statistical system composed of observations and a model. As special cases of the relations, statistical fundamental equations are presented which are obtained as the conditions of attainment of the equality sign in the relations. Making use of the result, a generalized multivariate exponential family is derived as a family of minimum uncertainty distributions. In the final section, several multivariate distributions are derived as basic multivariate parametric statistical models.     

Differentiability of Consistency Functions for DAE Systems

In the present paper, parametric initial-value problems for differential-algebraic (DAE) systems are investigated. It is known that the initial values of DAE systems must satisfy not only the original equations in the system but also the derivatives of these equations with respect to time. Whether or not this actually imposes additional constraints on the initial values depends on the particular problem.Often the initial values are not determined uniquely, so that the resulting degrees of freedom can be used to optimize a given performance index. For this purpose, the class of so-called consistency functions is defined. These functions map a set of parameters, which include also those undetermined initial values, to consistent initial values for the DAE system. Because of frequent gradient evaluations of the performance index and the constraints with respect to these system parameters needed by many optimization procedures, we state conditions such that the consistency functions represent differentiable functions with respect to these parameters. Several examples are provided to illustrate the verification of the theoretical assumptions and their differentiability properties.The authors would like to thank the referees for helpful suggestions and comments
