DETERMINATION OF THE FLEXURAL RIGIDITY OF A BEAM FROM LIMITED BOUNDARY MEASUREMENTS
Abstract
Inverse coefficient identification problems associated with the fourth-order Sturm-Liouville operator in the steady state Euler-Bernoulli beam equation are investigated. Unlike previous studies in which spectral data are used as additional information, in this paper only boundary information is used, hence non-destructive tests can be employed in practical applications.
