AN OVERVIEW OF SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION METHODS AND APPLICATIONS

Methods of system identification (SI) for structural dynamic systems are reviewed in this paper. This paper discusses the scope and results of recently completed joint-industry research project in Iran. The project concluded the several parts in case of system identification. Herein presented the first part of this project. The methods considered,(relevant to stationary and non- tationary random processes) are parametric and nonparametric methods that are covered almost all existing methods. On the other part of this paper, types of dynamic tests and data acquisitions are described. At the end part of the paper, history and forecasting horizon of system identification are shown.Notice that, about 150 different papers & references were studied to implement these methods. For the purpose of effective applications, techniques of system identification need to be developed. So, the aim of the presented paper is to review the history, methods of system identification, type of tests and theories in the short summary for complete prospect of the system identification. This paper presented into two parts
