Recently identification techniques using neural networks for nonlinear vibratory systems attract interests of engineers. The identification techniques developed so far can determine the input-output relation of the objective vibratory system as a whole. They cannot determine the parameters of the system separately. In this report, we propose a new experimental identification technique which can determine the linear parameters as well as nonlinear terms of the system. The applicability of the technique is confirmed by numerical simulation and experiment.
