Modelling and system identification of an experimental apparatus for anomaly detection in mechanical systems

摘要

This paper presents design, modelling and system identification of a laboratory test apparatus that has been constructed to experimentally validate the concepts of anomaly detection in complex mechanical systems. The test apparatus is designed to be complex in itself due to partially correlated interactions amongst its individual components and functional modules. The experiments are conducted on the test apparatus to represent operations of mechanical systems where both dynamic performance and structural durability are critical.
