Force identification using mixed and penalized optimization techniques Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The design of mechanical structures requires the knowledge of acting dynamic loads. However, for some of these structures, e.g. aircraft wings and tall buildings, the external forces can not be measured directly. With the advent of high performance computers and reliable modal analysis techniques, accurate models of the structure are available. Inverse techniques offer the possibility to recover the systems input forces from noisy vibration data ...
