    This document outlines steps to identify a mathematical model of a cantilever beam using system identification techniques and experimental vibration data. The beam is excited using piezoelectric patches while vibration responses are measured. Data is collected and stored. Then, a linear state-space model of the beam is identified from the data using the N4SID method. The identified model is validated by comparing simulated and measured outputs. Finally, the model is used to determine resonant frequencies and perform time response simulations.

    SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION ASSIGNMENT - 02.11.2012


    For the purpose of system analysis, a mathematical model of the investigated system is
    required. However, it is usually difficult in practice to derive a mathematical model
    from physical laws because of complexity of system dynamics, disturbances from the
    environment around the system, etc. System identification technique which deals with
    the problem of building mathematical models of dynamical systems based on observed
    data from the system has gained great credibility and wide application areas.
    Problem: A cantilever beam is given but without knowledge of its properties (i.e.
    dimensions, mass, flexural rigidity (EI), etc.). One is interested to do frequency
    analysis for this cantilever beam using MATLAB\ System Identification Toolbox. In
    order to do so, a number of steps have to be performed.
    Step 1 - Data measurement
    The beam is attached with 4 piezoelectric patches to act as actuators. Experimental
    equipments are arranged as in Figure 1. Data acquisition equipment (DAQ) feeds 4
    band-limited white noise excitation signals to the 4 actuators on the beam through a
    power amplifier. Vibration near tip of the beam is recorded by a velocity sensor
    (vibrometer).

    Figure 1. Experiment setup for data collection
    Plant: Single-sided clamped aluminum beam with 4 piezoelectric patches and a laser
    vibrometer (MISO system).
    Plant-input: voltage signals to the four piezoelectric patches u[k].
    Seite2von2

    Plant-output: deflection velocity near to the end point y[k].


    Measurement was already done in 10 seconds with sampling period Ts =0.001s. Four
    input signals and one output signal are stored in
    Data_samplingfreq_1000_hz.mat file which can be downloaded from
    blackboard in the directory Kursunterlagen\Sytem Identification_matlab files.zip.
    More steps are required:
    Step 2 - Model Identification: Indentify a linear state-space model for the plant using
    the subspace state-space system identification method N4SID in MATLAB\ System
    Identification Toolbox (using GUI or command lines). Perform this step with various
    model orders, e.g. 8, 10, 12, 14, etc.
    Step 3 - Model Verification: Compare the simulated output using the models
    obtained from task 2 with the measured output (use the command compare if you do
    system identification by command lines). Comment on the percentage of fit when
    model order is increased and choose simplest model that fits the measured data best.
    Step 4 - Frequency analysis: From the best model selected in step 3, plot the
    frequency response of the plant and record the first 4 resonant frequencies of the beam.
    Step 5 Use the identified model: From the identified state-space model of the beam,
    assign those system properties to the given Simulink model
    state_space_model_beam.mdl and plot the model time response when the input for
    all 4 channels excitation is of the form
    u(t) = 1u - sin(2n
    1
    t),
    where
    1
    is the first resonant frequency.
