ERA with Mode Condensation

Eigensystem Realization Algoirthm with Mode Condensation Algorithm

Eigensystem Realization Algoirthm with Mode Condensation Algorithm. Example file is provided for the identification of 2DOF system subject to impulse excitation with added uncertainty (gaussian white noise).

function [Result] = ERA_CONDENSED(Y,fs,ncols,nrows,inputs,initialcut,maxcut,shift,EMAC_option,LimCMI,LimMAC,LimFreq,Plot_option)

Inputs :

Y: Free vibration output data in a form of Y=[Y1 Y2 ... Y_Ndata] Yi is Markov Parameter of size (outputs,inputs) and the total size is (outputs,inputs*Ndata)

where outputs is the number of output channels, inputs is the number of inputs which equals to 1 unless free vibration data comes from Multi-reference channels NExT.

Ndata is the length of the data samples

fs: Sampling frequency

ncols: The number of columns in hankel matrix (more than 2/3 of No. of data)

nrows: The number of rows in hankel matrix (more than 20 * number of modes)

inputs: The number of inputs which equals to 1 unless free vibration data comes from Multi-reference channels NExT

initialcut: initial cutoff value of mode order

maxcut: maximium cutoff value of mode order

shift: Shift value in the final row and column blocks (Increase EMAC sensitivity) usually =10

EMAC_option: if this value equals to 1, EMAC will be independent of the number of columns (calculated only from observability matrix not from controllability)

LimCMI: Minmium allowable CMI for modes

LimMAC & LimFreq: Minimium value of MAC and maximium value of frequency difference to assume two modes are referring to the same real mode

Plot_option: if 1 plots stabilization diagram

Outputs :

Result: A structure consist of the below components

Parameters: NaFreq : Natural frequencies vector

DampRatio: Damping ratios vector

ModeShape: Mode shape matrix

Indicators: MAmC : Modal Amplitude Coherence

EMAC: Extended Modal Amplitude Coherence

MPC: Modal Phase Collinearity

CMI: Consistent Mode Indicator
