Time-delay identification for vibration systems with multiple feedback

摘要

An approach for time-delay identification is pro-posed in multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) linear sys-tems with multiple feedback. The applicability of the approach is discussed in detail. Based on the characteris-tics of frequency domain in feedback controlled system with multiple time-delays, this paper proposes a time-delay iden-tification approach, which is based on the pseudo impedance function of reference point. Treating feedback time-delays as the“frequencies”of the oscillation curve, the time-delays can be obtained from the“frequencies”of the curve. Numerical simulation is conducted to validate the proposed approach. The application scope of the approach is discussed with regard to different forms of feedback.
