DOI: 10.12989/sem.2021.79.6.683
Abstract: This paper proposes an improved variational mode decomposition (IVMD) algorithm for structural modal parameter estimation based on non-stationary responses. In this improved VMD, the mean envelope entropy (MEE) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are first… read more here.
