Nonlinear problems have drawn great interest and extensive attention from engineers,
physicists and mathematicians and many other scientists because most real systems are …

Nonlinear vibration control systems (both passive and active) always involve parameter
design and performance optimization tasks. A systematic and novel frequency-domain …

Most of the practical engineering structures exhibit nonlinearity due to nonlinear dynamic
characteristics of structural joints, nonlinear boundary conditions and nonlinear material …

The convergence of the Volterra series representation of nonlinear systems is the
fundamental requirement for the analysis of nonlinear systems in the frequency domain. In …

Cascade dynamic nonlinear systems can describe a wide class of engineering problems,
but little efforts have been devoted to the identification of such systems so far. One of the …

Vehicle suspension (or vibration control) systems are usually inherently nonlinear and can
be modeled as single input multiple output (SIMO) system. In this paper, parametric …

Nonlinearity always brings difficulties to the analysis and design of practical systems. This
study shows that, for a wide class of nonlinear systems described by nonlinear differential …

The failure analysis and diagnosis of hydraulic-turbine generator unit (HGU) is important to
protect the safety and stability of the electric system. But failure analysis and diagnosis for …

A fundamental issue in conducting the analysis and design of a nonlinear system via
Volterra series theory is how to ensure the excitation magnitude and/or model parameters …

In this chapter, a new criterion is derived to determine the convergence of the Volterra series
representation of nonlinear systems described by a NARX model. The analysis is performed …
