Detailed Finite Element Models (FEM) of such materials prove prohibitively expensive, especially when embedded in large structures.

This importance is underscored by the fact that many installed wind farms are nearing the end of their operational lifespan and require life extension strategies that ensure safe operation. However, most existing techniques in the state of the art are either imprecise or necessitate complex calculations and high computational costs. These limitations often require extensive data extraction for external processing, the use of complex processors, and the engagement of external services for data analysis, posing significant challenges for wind farm owners. This paper presents an Operational Modal Analysis algorithm designed for Structural Health Monitoring of wind turbines, addressing the aforementioned issues. The proposed algorithm is highly computationally efficient, allowing for implementation on a low-cost electronic node that can autonomously analyze the structural health of the wind turbine with high precision. To achieve this, the algorithm employs a combination of techniques, some of which are novel, such as the modeling of modes and harmonic elimination using linear Kalman filters. Other techniques, such as the Random Decrement Technique and the Ibrahim Time Domain, are well-established in literature. However, the specific combination of these techniques as presented in this paper is also a novelty. All these techniques involve simple calculations, resulting in an efficient algorithm with low computational cost. Moreover, this paper validates the algorithm using both synthetic signals from OpenFAST and real signals from wind turbines. The results are highly satisfactory, outperforming leading techniques in this context and confirming the algorithm's precision. Notably, the algorithm excels in damping estimation, a challenging aspect of Operational Modal Analysis applied to wind turbines, for which no existing Operational Modal Analysis techniques provide precise estimates. In conclusion, the algorithm presented in this paper offers a precise, efficient, and low-cost solution for Structural Health Monitoring of wind turbines, eliminating the need for extensive data processing and external analysis, thereby simplifying and improving the maintenance and operation of wind farms.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17233,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sound and Vibration","volume":"620 ","pages":"Article 119436"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145047634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a generalized dynamic equation of 2n dimensions is formulated, which incorporates both motor dynamics and feedforward-feedback control. Then, the vibration model is derived through Taylor expansion around arbitrary dynamic equilibrium states. Based on this motion-dependent vibration model with time-varying matrices, state space formulations are developed to define instantaneous modal parameters under arbitrary motion conditions. Subsequently, the influence of rigid-body motion on the vibrational characteristics is analyzed and verified with a 2-DOF mechanism.

High-fidelity models such as nonlinear shell/plate or solid finite element models, which analyze large dynamic deformations with many degrees of freedom, are computationally intensive. The modal rotation method (MRM) is a static analysis method that efficiently analyzes large deformations based on modes and stiffness matrices obtained from any linear or linearized model. MRM targets slender structures with small strains and large displacements and considers geometrical nonlinearity rather than material nonlinearity. Dynamic MRM (DMRM), which was developed by extending the MRM to a dynamic analysis method, can efficiently perform nonlinear dynamic analyses using a modal approach. However, the conventional DMRM was formulated under the assumption that the inertial nonlinearity can be neglected. In this study, a novel DMRM that takes inertial nonlinearity into account was proposed. To achieve this, emphasis was placed on the similarities between MRM and rigid multibody systems. In addition, a damping term has been included in the equation of motion in the proposed method. This enables a comparison between the analytical results of the proposed method and the experimental results with damping effects.
