Application of unsymmetric block Lanczos vectors in system identification
This paper demonstrates a new system identification approach of using Lanczos coordinates in place of modal coordinates. Identified experimental Lanczos vectors can be directly used in many structural dynamics analysis applications. A multi-input, multi-output frequency-domain technique was used to extract system matrices and an unsymmetric block Lanczos algorithm was used to reduce the order of the experimental model. A cantilever beam example showed promising results, indicating that a new system identification approach using Lanczos coordinates is worthy of further study.
