The problem of estimating parameters in dynamic systems excited by stochastic processes is addressed. Attention is focused on situations where the response processes are measurable but the excitation processes are non-Gaussian, unmeasurable and known only in terms of parameterised stochastic process

โฆ Synopsis
A method for identifying the element rigidities of a truss is developed. The transient response of the truss is transformed into the frequency domain for use in the identification process. The spectral finite element method is employed to formulate the equilibrium equation of the truss in the frequency domain. The identification problem is then formulated as an optimization program in which the error norm of the equilibrium equation is minimized. The issue of identifiability is addressed. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed method. It is shown the element properties can be obtained successfully. The influence of noise is investigated through an example.

The dynamic characteristics and responses of stochastic truss structures under non-stationary random excitation are investigated using a new method called the random factor method (RFM). Using the RFM, the structural physical parameters and geometry can be considered as random variables. Based on th
The identification method for stiffness constant parameters and damping coefficient parameters of connections using test data is derived when a structure is attached to another structure via connections. Because of the inherent difficulties of deriving spatial models from test data, the frequency re
The necessity of accurate prediction of structural dynamics has led to extensive studies on identification of joint structural parameters. The present paper proposes an effective identification scheme for linearised joint parameters of a structure, which makes use of not only the measured frequency
