Nonlinear Identification with Constraints in Frequency Domain of Electric Direct Drive with Multi-Resonant Mechanical Part

Knowledge of a direct-drive model with a complex mechanical part is important in the synthesis of control algorithms and in the predictive maintenance of digital twins. The identification of two-mass drive systems with one low mechanical resonance frequency is often described in the literature. This...
