Hammerstein-Wiener Models

Connection of linear dynamic systems with static nonlinearities such as saturation and dead zone

Use Hammerstein-Wiener models to estimate static nonlinearities in an otherwise linear system. In the toolbox, these models are represented as idnlhw objects. You can estimate Hammerstein-Wiener models in the System Identification app, or at the command line using the nlhw command.

Hammerstein-Wiener Model of SI Engine Torque Dynamics

Describes modeling the nonlinear torque dynamics of a spark-ignition (SI) engine as a Hammerstein-Wiener model. The identified model can be used for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, powertrain control, diagnostic, and training algorithm design. For example, you can use the model for aftertreatment control and diagnostics algorithm development. For more information on Hammerstein-Wiener models, see Hammerstein-Wiener Models.
