Modal Parameter Identification Based on Hilbert Vibration Decomposition in Vibration Stability of Bridge Structures by Yingzhi Xia, Hui Li, Zhezhe Fan, Jiyong Xiao

“…An output-only modal parameter identification technique based on Hilbert Vibration Decomposition (HVD) is developed herein for structural modal parameter identification to (1) obtain the Free Decay Response (FDR) of a structure through free vibration or ambient vibration tests, (2) decompose the FDR into modal responses using HVD, and (3) calculate the instantaneous frequencies and instantaneous damping ratios of the modal responses to obtain the modal frequencies and modal damping ratios. …”
