Abstract
-
An identification scheme in the frequency domain, suitable for one-dimensional distributed structural dynamic systems with damping is considered. For this purpose, the form of a model representing the behavior of an Euler-Bernoulli beam is assumed to be known in the frequency domain. Also, the response of the system is assumed to be given at discrete locations along the
beam. Quintic B-splines are then used to obtain a continuous representation of the response and its derivatives. The system parameters appearing in the governing differential equation are considered to be spatially varying functions. Cubic B-splines are
used to approximate the parameter space, and their derivatives are obtained from such approximations. The method of collocation in conjunction with the equation error approach is then used to estimate the unknown parameters, which are the unknown coefficients of the parameter splines. A numerically simulated response of an Euler-Bernoulli beam in the presence of viscous
damping is considered to validate the identification scheme. The estimated values of mass, stiffness and damping are discussed.
