A heuristic approach to output-only system identification under transient excitation
作者：
Highlights：
• Output-only system identification under non-white-noise excitation is addressed.
• The classical approach consists in using long records.
• The white-noise excitation assumption is trivially validated during free-vibration.
• An algorithm is developed to automatically find free-vibration record segments.
• The proposed approach requires short records, leading to hardware simplifications.
