There are several ways for determining spring and damper characteristics and type of problem shall be considered as system identification. This study use Genetic Algorithm (GA) procedure, being an effective procedure in case of optimization issues, for optimizing errors, between target data (experimental data) and calculated results (being obtained by analytical solving). In this study analyzed model in 5-DOF then compared our results with 5-DOF serial model. Finally, the response of model due to external excitement is investigated.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {7}, year = {2011}, pages = {1284 - 1289}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/7981}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/55}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 55, 2011}, }
