Abstract: Finite element models are based upon known physical characteristics. But there are two main sources of error, namely (i) ill-defined joints and boundary constraints, and (ii) overstiffening due ...

Abstract: In this paper the authors present a linear, least-squares, frequency domain filter for the identification of structural vibration parameters, such as mass, stiffness, and damping, from observed ...

Abstract: In system identification it is important that any a priori information about the system is utilized in the processing of measured data. Structural vibration problems can be modelled in terms ...
