A memory-matrix-based identification methodology for structural and mechanical systems
Firdaus E. Udwadia, Wlodek Proskurowski · Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics · 1998
This paper uses an associative memory approach to identify the properties of structural and mechanical systems. The methodology differs from standard identification methods in that it uses a set of parameter vectors simultaneously to generate the estimated parameter vector. The method develops a technique for sequentially generating genetically engineered relevant parameter vectors whose use results in accurate identification, while still using small data sets. This makes the approach promising for on-line, rapid, identification of structures and their health monitoring. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
