A New Method of Time Series Analysis and its Application to Identifying Modal Parameters

In the paper, the attention concentrates on the time domain modal analysis. A new method of time series analysis, which is formed mainly by an ideal modeling strategy and a new COR-IV method, is developed. In addition, an interesting parameter called as modal energy ratio, which is available for design reference, is defined and its identification algorithm is given. The new method presented in this paper and Frequency Domain Method (FDM) are performed on a frame of SG120 vehicle. It is shown by comparison between these two methods that the new method of time series analysis is practical.
