Modal Parameter Identification of Rotary Systems Based on Power Spectral Density Transmissibility Functions

Operational modal analysis based on power spectral density transmissibility functions (PSDT) is a powerful tool to identify the modal parameters with low sensitivity to excitations. The rotor systems may have the asymmetric damping or stiffness matrices which can lead to increase the difficulties of the identification procedure. In this paper, a new method is proposed to identify the modal parameters of the asymmetric rotary systems by the operational modal analysis based on the power spectral density transmissibility functions. For pole extraction from the PSDT function, a proper parametric identification method such as the Poly-reference Least Squares Complex Frequency-domain method (PLSCF) or poly-Max method can be used. Then, the rotary system poles can be identified from a Stabilization Diagram (SD) with overestimating the system model order. The proposed algorithm is validated by a computer simulation.
