Morlet Wave Modal Identification.

MWModal - Morlet-Wave Modal Identification

This is the Python implementation of the Morlet-Wave Modal identification method which is based on the [1].

This package is created within the MSCA IF project NOSTRADAMUS.

Simple example

A simple example how to identify modal parameters using Morlet-Wave Modal package:

import mwmodal as mwm
import numpy as np

# set time domain
fs = 5000 # sampling frequency [Hz]
T = 2 # signal duration [s]
time = np.arange(T*fs) / fs # time vector

# generate a free response of a SDOF damped mechanical system
w_d = 2*np.pi * 100 # damped natural frequency
d = 0.01 # damping ratio
x = 1 # amplitude
phi = 0.3 # phase
response = x * np.exp(-d * w_d / np.sqrt(1 - d**2) * time) * np.cos(w_d * time - phi)

# set MorletWaveModal object identifier
identifier = mwm.MorletWaveModal(free_response=response, fs=fs)

#  set initial natural frequency, estimate damping ratio and identify modal parameters
identifier.identify_modal_parameters(omega_estimated=w_n, damping_estimated=0.005)
