Abstract: Based on the theory of ``time-frozen'', this paper proposes a novel operational modal analysis (OMA) for linear time-varying structure using limited memory principal component analysis (LMPCA). Compared with modal coordinate decomposition of non-stationary response signals for linear time-varying continuous beam structure, it is found that PCA can be decomposed to extract time-varying instantaneous modal parameters, which reveal structure characteristics in limited memory window length L. Numerical simulations results on a cantilever beam with slow time-varying mass are presented to verify the TV instantaneous natural frequencies and modal shapes identification capability of the LMPCA.

Keywords: Operation modal analysis, slow time-varying structure, time-frozen, instantaneous modal parameters, limited memory principal component analysis
