Parameter Identification of Vibrating MIMO Mass-Spring-Damper Mechanical Systems with Coulomb Friction
Abstract: This study presents a time-domain method for identifying parameters in multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) linear mass-spring-damper systems that include Coulomb friction, where the friction coefficient varies within a limited range, using measurements of position and control force. For mass identification in single-degree-of-freedom (DOF) vibrating mechanical systems with stiffness and no damping but Coulomb friction, the friction term is eliminated by first derivative processing. In addition, the identification of the coefficient of friction …
