A generalization of the concept of classical normal modes in damped linear systems is presented. It is then shown that a necessary and sufficient condition that such quasi-normal modes exist is that certain matrices associated with the system commute. Necessary and sufficient conditions of the same type are also obtained for the classical normal modes, but under more restrictive conditions.

The purpose of this paper is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions under which both discrete and continuous damped linear dynamic systems possess classical normal modes.

An analysis of the conditions under which a damped linear system possesses classical normal modes is presented. It is shown that a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of classical normal modes is that the damping matrix be diagonalized by the same transformation that uncouples the undamped systems. Sufficient though not necessary conditions on the damping matrix are developed, and it is shown that Rayleigh’s solution is a special case of the present theory.

In control and monitoring of manufacturing processes, it is key to understand model uncertainty in order to achieve the required levels of consistency, quality, and economy, among others. In aerospace applications, models need to be very precise and able to describe the entire dynamics of an aircraft. In addition, the complexity of modern real systems has turned deterministic models impractical, since they cannot adequately represent the behavior of disturbances in sensors and actuators, and tool and machine wear, to name a few. Thus, it is necessary to deal with model uncertainties in the dynamics of the plant by incorporating a stochastic behavior. These uncertainties could also affect the effectiveness of fault diagnosis methodologies used to increment the safety and reliability in real-world systems. Determining suitable dynamic system models of real processes is essential to obtain effective process control strategies and accurate fault detection and diagnosis methodologies that deliver good performance. In this paper, a maximum likelihood estimation algorithm for the uncertainty modeling in linear dynamic systems is developed utilizing a stochastic embedding approach. In this approach, system uncertainties are accounted for as a stochastic error term in a transfer function. In this paper, we model the error-model probability density function as a finite Gaussian mixture model. For the estimation of the nominal model and the probability density function of the parameters of the error-model, we develop an iterative algorithm based on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm using the data from independent experiments. The benefits of our proposal are illustrated via numerical simulations.
