Nonlinear Models for the Vibrational Analysis of a Complex Dynamical System

Abstract

In this paper it is described a new signal processing method to establish the best operating condition of a deterministic dynamic system, using nonlinear models related to wavelet transform and chaos theory. To validate the reliability and sensitivity of the method, it is applied to a C30 Capstone turbine by setting several rotational speeds of the turbine and by using mixed fuels.
