This paper proposes a dual adaptive Kalman filter to identify parameters of a dynamic system that may experience sudden damage by a dynamic excitation such as earthquake ground motion. While various filter techniques have been utilized to estimate system’s states, parameters, input (force), or their combinations, the filter proposed in this paper focuses on tracking parameters that may change suddenly using sparse measurements. First, an advanced state-space model of parameter estimation employing a regularization technique is developed to overcome the lack of information in sparse measurements. To avoid inaccurate or biased estimation by conventional filters that use covariance matrices representing time-invariant artificial noises, this paper proposes a dual adaptive filtering, whose slave filter corrects the covariance of the artificial measurement noises in the master filter at every time-step. Since it is generally impossible to tune the proposed dual filter due to sensitivity with respect to parameters selected to describe artificial noises, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is adopted to facilitate optimal performance. Numerical investigations confirm the validity of the proposed method through comparison with other filters and emphasize the need for a thorough tuning process.
