Summary: In recent years, the echo state network (ESN) has been widely used in time series prediction due to its powerful computational abilities. However, most of the existing research on ESN assumes that the data is noise-free or only contaminated by Gaussian noise, which lacks robustness in solving real-world tasks. This study addresses this issue by proposing a probabilistic regularized ESN (PRESN) that guarantees robustness. The PRESN minimizes both the mean and variance of modeling error, and a scheme is derived for obtaining output weights. The performance and robustness of the PRESN are supported by theoretical analyses and validated through experiments on benchmark and real-world datasets.

Summary: This paper proposes an improved adaptive extended Kalman filter (IAEKF) method for real-time identification of time-varying cable force. The proposed method recursively estimates and closely tracks the cable force variation coefficient, considering an updated fading-factor matrix and determining the adaptive noise error covariance matrices through an optimization procedure. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated using a numerical model of a real-world cable-supported bridge and an experimental scaled steel stay cable, showing that it can accurately identify the time-varying cable force when the cable acceleration of only one measurement point is available.

Summary: This paper proves that the presence of harmonic excitation only affects the identification of structural modes when the harmonic excitation frequencies are close to the structural frequencies. The paper proposes a Ramanujan subspace projection (RSP) method for removing the harmonic component from the mixed random and harmonic system output. The method directly extracts the harmonic component from a specific complex conjugate division (CCD) without frequency domain analysis, and reduces computational effort by selecting CCDs with robust harmonic features using an energy indicator. The numerical, experimental, and field test results demonstrate the effectiveness of the RSP method in accurately identifying modal parameters under mixed random and harmonic excitation.
