Abstract: This paper and its companion study constitute a two-part attempt at providing a common framework for some methodologies used in obtaining physical parameters of mechanical systems from identified state space models. In the ...

Abstract: This paper presents various numerical investigations about obtaining physical parameters of second-order mechanical systems using the algorithms that were investigated in detail in the first part of this study. To discuss ...

Abstract: This article briefly presents the theory for a system identification and damage detection algorithm for linear systems, and discusses the effectiveness of such a methodology in the context of a benchmark problem that was ...
