Generalized Bouc–Wen Model for Highly Asymmetric Hysteresis

Abstract

Bouc-Wen class models have been widely used to efficiently describe smooth hysteretic behavior in time history and random vibration analyses. This paper proposes a generalized Bouc-Wen model with sufficient flexibility in shape control to describe highly asymmetric hysteresis loops. Also introduced is a mathematical relation between the shape-control parameters and the slopes of the hysteresis loops, so that the model parameters can be identified systematically in conjunction with available parameter identification methods. For use in nonlinear random vibration analysis by the equivalent linearization method, closed-form expressions are derived for the coefficients of the equivalent linear system in terms of the second moments of the response quantities. As an example application, the proposed model is successfully fitted to the highly asymmetric hysteresis loops obtained in laboratory experiments for flexible connectors used in electrical substations. The model is then employed to investigate the effect of dynamic interaction between interconnected electrical substation equipment by nonlinear time-history and random vibration analyses.

Identification of robotic systems with hysteresis using Nonlinear AutoRegressive eXogenous input models

“…A notable advantage of this model is its capability to capture large numbers of patterns of hysteresis loops with various physical characteristics related to the hysteretic behavior, such as degradation of strength and stiffness, 16 pinching effect, 17 and asymmetry of the peak restoring force. 18 Another advantage of the model is its computational simplicity because only one auxiliary nonlinear differential equation is needed to describe the hysteretic behavior, and the model can be used to analyze the response of the robotic system under any excitation once the parameters have been identified.…”

Contour accuracy improvement of a flexure-based micro-motion stage for tracking repetitive trajectory

“…For example, Lai 18 utilized an inversion-based feedforward controller combined with a PID controller to compensate the nonlinearities of a parallel micro-motion stage, and excellent positioning and tracking performances were achieved. Additionally, several analytical models, such as the Prandtl-Ishlinskii model, 19 Preisach model, 20 and Bouc-Wen model, 21 have been proposed and applied in the feedforward controller to compensate the hysteresis of the piezoceramic actuator. The result of the model-based feedforward controller depends on the model accuracy.…”
