Identification of Running Load and Beam System

Abstract

Identification problems on dynamic parameters of a running load and beam system were investigated, using the EK‐WGI method, which is a weighted global iteration procedure incorporated with the extended Kalman filter. By suitably formulating a set of state vector equations and observation equations for the system on which this method was applied, dynamic parameters of both the running load and the beam were identified with high accuracy, where numerically simulated data were used as observation waves so that accuracy and convergency of estimated parameters might be examined.
