Evaluation of a simple method of identification of dynamic parameters of a single-degree-of-freedom system

The paper presents a simple method of identification of dynamic parameters of single-degree-of-freedom systems based on an impulse test. Numerical simulations consisting in generating a model impulse excitation and the response of a model system with specified dynamic parameters to this excitation have been carried out to present the applicability range of the method. The influence on parameter estimation errors at various set values of these parameters and procedure parameters has been investigated.
