... with applying such mathematical methods to separate vibration sources is that no metric or standard measure exists to evaluate the quality of the separation. In this study, a method based on statistical energy analysis (SEA) is proposed using Fourier transforms and the spatial distance between sensors...

... of the faulty hydraulic actuator is first established, in the frequency domain, by Fourier transformation of acceptable actuator input-output responses. Then, a robust position control law is synthesized by quantitative feedback theory to meet the prescribed design tolerances on closed-loop stability...

... we investigate the nature of the variability of the point spectrum related to three families of spectral estimators: Fourier transform of the truncated unbiased correlation estimator, the truncated periodogram, and the autoregressive estimator. We show that tones are a significant source of bias...
