Description
Summary:The dynamic response transfer rate function (TRF) is increasingly used in the field of structural modal parameter identification because it does not depend on the white noise assumption of the excitation. In this paper, the interference of periodic excitation on structural modal parameter identification using TRF is analyzed theoretically for a class of civil engineering structures with obvious periodic components in excitation, and then an identification method of structural real modal parameters is proposed. First, a delayed TRF is constructed, and the pseudo-frequency response function is further obtained to identify the periodic spurious poles of the whole system. Then, the effective identification of the real modal parameters of the structure is achieved by comparing the system poles identified via conventional TRF. Finally, the feasibility and robustness of the proposed method were verified using a calculation example with four-degrees-of-freedom system. In addition, the modal parameters of a structure under periodic excitation were effectively identified by taking a pumping station as an example, and the results show that the method accurately identified the structural modal parameters when the excitation contained periodic components, which has wider prospects for technical applications.
