Identification Technology of Modal Parameter of a Strap-on Launch Vehicle

摘要

It is generally needed to conduct ground modal tests over strap-on launch vehicle to provide modal parameters for the attitude control design and load calculating. These modal parameters can also provide basis of installing sense organs on the launch vehicle. This paper introduces a modal parameter identification method based on input-output data of the system, which can be used to check calculations of modal parameters after ground modal tests. In this paper, the double-compatible free-interface modal synthesis method is first used for the modeling of the system so as to get the input and output data of the system. Then the identification techniques of observer/Kalman filter identification (OKID) and eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA) are introduced. Finally, numerical simulations are carried out to demonstrate the validity of the presented identification method. Simulation results indicate that the modal parameter of the system can be effectively identified using OKID and ERA.
