Modal Parameters Identification Method Based on Symplectic Geometry Model Decomposition by Hang Jin, Jianhui Lin, Xieqi Chen, Cai Yi

“…This paper proposes a novel method of structural system modal identification, where the iterative method is introduced in symplectic geometric model decomposition (SGMD). The proposed method can decompose the measured response into finite symplectic geometric components and identify the modal parameters of time-invariant structures and the instantaneous frequency of time-variant system through each symplectic geometric component. …”
