In particular, one of the most relevant nonlinearities affecting the performance of industrial machines is the backlash (see Figure 22.1), which commonly occurs in mechanical, hydraulic and magnetic components like bearings, gears and impact dampers (see, e.g., [17]). This nonlinearity, which can be classified as dynamic (i.e., with memory) and hard (i.e. non-differentiable), may arise from unavoidable manufacturing tolerances or sometimes may be deliberately incorporated into the system in order to describe lubrication and thermal expansion effects [3]. The interested reader is referred to [22] for real-life examples of systems with either input or output backlash nonlinearities. date: 2010 series: Lecture Notes in Control and Information Sciences number: 404 publisher: Springer pagerange: 367-382 id_number: 10.1007/978-1-84996-513-2_22 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-84996-513-2 book_title: Block-oriented Nonlinear System Identification official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-84996-513-2_22 citation: Cerone, Vito and Piga, Dario and Regruto, Diego Bounded error identification of Hammerstein Systems with backlash.
