The identification of engineering system parameters
Robert Whalley, DMR Mitchell · Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part I Journal of Systems and Control Engineering · 1997
Abstract A procedure enabling the identification of the mass/inertia, damping and stiffness matrices for mechanical systems or the analogous inductance, resistance and capacitance matrices for electrical, fluid or thermal systems from measured results is developed. Analytical constraints that are mandatory are defined. Illustrative examples are provided.
