Third-Order Volterra Kernel Identification Technique in Aerodynamics

Abstract:

In this paper, we will extend a Volterra identification technique of nonlinear systems. In reality there exists a large class of weakly Nonlinear System which can be well defined by the first few kernels of the Volterra series. In general, Engineers believe that identifying high-order Volterra kernels is a big problem and hope for the advent of better identification techniques. However, with the extensive development of the Volterra kernels’ identification technique, the situation may improve. The formulas used to calculate kernels up to the third-order are given.
