In classical mechanical engineering the predominant group of system analysis and identification tools relies on Linear Systems, where research have been carried out for over half a century. Usage of Linear Systems is most widely spread, often due to its simple mathematics and formulation for many engineering problems. Although linearizing is a means for simplifying a problem, it will introduce more or less severe modelling errors. In some cases the errors due to linearizing are too large to be practically acceptable, and therefore nonlinear structures and models are sometimes introduced.This thesis aims in implementing and evaluating some popular methods and algorithms for nonlinear structure analysis and identification, with emphasis on systems having nonlinear terms…
