Nonlinear System Techniques and Applications / Edition 2

by Julius S. Bendat

Overview

New practical techniques for nonlinear system research andevaluation

Nonlinear Systems Techniques and Applications provides the mostpractical techniques currently available for analyzing andidentifying nonlinear systems from random data measured at theinput and output points of the nonlinear systems. These newtechniques require only one-dimensional spectral functions that aremuch simpler to compute and apply than previous nonlinearprocedures. The new results show when and how to replace a wideclass of single-input/single-output nonlinear models with simplerequivalent multiple-input/single-output linear models. While othertechniques are usually restricted to Gaussian data, the newtechniques developed here apply to data with arbitrary probability,correlation, and spectral properties.

Numerous examples used in the book are based on the analysis ofreal physical data passing through real nonlinear systems in thefields of oceanography, automotive engineering, and biomedicalresearch.

For practicing engineers and scientists involved in aerospace,automotive, biomedical, electrical, mechanical, oceanographic, andother activities concerned with nonlinear system analysis,Nonlinear Systems Techniques and Applications is the essentialreference work in the field.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Introduces some practical techniques for analyzing and identifying nonlinear systems from random data measured at the input and output points of the systems. They require only one-dimensional spectral functions that are much simpler to compute and apply than previous nonlinear procedures. The results indicate when and how to replace a wide class of single-input/single-output models with simpler equivalents using multiple inputs and single outputs. The methods are not restricted to Gaussian data, but can digest data with arbitrary probability, correlation, and spectral properties. They can be applied to nonlinear systems wherever they are encountered. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
