A method for the identification of structural characteristic parameters of a steel bar in the matrices form such as stiffness matrices and mass matrices from frequency response function(FRF) by genetic algorithm is proposed. As the method is based on the finite element method(FEM), the obtained matrices have perfect physical meanings if the FRFs got from the analysis and the FRFs from the experiments were well coincident each other. The identified characteristic matrices from the FRFs with maximun 40 % of random errors by the genetic algorithm are coincident with the characteristic matrices from exact FEM FRFs well each other. The fitted element diameters by using only 2 points experimental FRFs are similar to the actual diameters of the bar. The fitted FRFs are good accordance with the experimental FRFs on the graphs. FRFs of the rest 9 points not used for calculating could be fitted even well.

It is attempted to estimate excitation force of a linear vibratory system using measured vibration responses. The excitation force is estimated from the relationship between the vibration response and system characteristic matrices which are extracted from both the mathematical model of the system and actual response in contrast to the usual approach of inverting the frequency response matrices. This extraction scheme is based on the fact that the vibration response can be expressed in term of linear combination of frequency domain modal vectors defined as mutually orthonormal basis vectors in frequency domain. The extracted frequency domain basis vectors are very stable in computational manipulation. It is found that the estimated excitation force is in good agreement with actually measured force except at the natural frequencies the structure, which is the common feature still to be overcome by the research efforts in this area. From the results of this paper, this disagreement is considered to come from the discrepancy between the model and actual value of the mass, damping and stiffness of the structure.

The unbalance response analysis is one of the essential area in the forced vibration analysis of rotor-bearing systems. Local bearing parameters in rotor-bearing systems are the major sources which give rise to a difficulty in unbalance response computation due to the complicated dynamic properties such as rotational speed dependency and anisotropy. In the present paper, an efficient method for unbalance responses is proposed so as to easily take into account bearing parameters in computation. An exact matrix condensation procedure is proposed which enables the present method to compute unbalance responses by dealing with condensed, small matrices. The proposed method causes no errors even though the computation procedure is based on the small matrices condensed from the full matrices. The present method is illustrated through a numerical example and compared with the conventional method.

The continuous time linear quadratic problem (LQP) has been applied to the control of a 8-tray distillation column using the code VASP. The weighting matrices for the state variables and control variables were adjusted iteratively. The simulation results of the optimal control with 2 inputs and 2 outputs showed that the LQP method is very satisfactory for a rapid response and feedback control, and any desired response could be obtained by adjusting the weighting matrices Q under = and R under =. The feedback gain matrix K under = was also determined.

In this paper, a new method to solve the dynamic response problem for structures with interval parameters is presented. It is difficult to obtain all possible solutions with sharp bounds even an optimum scheme is adopted when there are many interval structural parameters. With the interval algorithm, the expressions of the interval stiffness matrix, damping matrix and mass matrices are developed. Based on the matrix perturbation theory and interval extension of function, the upper and lower bounds of dynamic response are obtained, while the sharp bounds are guaranteed by the interval operations. A numerical example, dynamic response analysis of a box cantilever beam, is given to illustrate the validity of the present method.

Finite element models of dynamic systems can be updated in two stages. In the first stage, mass and stiffness matrices are updated neglecting damping, and in the second stage, damping matrices are estimated with the mass and stiffness matrices fixed. Three methods to estimate damping matrices for this purpose are proposed in this paper. The methods include one for proportional damping systems and two for non-proportional damping systems. Method 1 utilizes orthogonality of normal modes and estimates damping matrices using the modal parameters extracted from the measured responses. Method 2 estimates damping matrices from impedance matrices which are the inverse of FRF matrices. Method 3 estimates damping using the equation which relates a damping matrix to the difference between the analytical and measured FRFs. The characteristics of the three methods are investigated by applying them to simulated discrete system data and experimental cantilever beam data.

Quadratic weighting matrices have an effect on the transition and steady state responses in a LQ tracking problem. They are usually decided on trial and error in order to get a good response. In this paper a method is presented which calculates a steady - state deviation without solving Riccati equation. By using this method, a new procedure for selecting the weighting matrices is proposed when a tolerance on the steady - state deviation is given.

It is not easy to experimentally obtain the FRF (Frequency Response Function) matrix corresponding to a full set of DOFs (degrees of freedom) for a dynamic system. Utilizing FRF data measured at specific positions, with DOFs less than that of the system, as constraints to describe a damaged system, this study identifies parameter matrices such as mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the system, and provides a damage identification method from their variations. The proposed parameter identification method is compared to Lee and Kim's method and Fritzen's method. The validity of the proposed damage identification method is illustrated in a simple dynamic system.

An improved method based on a normal frequency response function (FRF) is proposed to identify structural parameters such as mass, stiffness and damping matrices directly from the FRFs of a linear mechanical system. The method for estimating structural parameters directly from the measured FRFs of a structure is presented. This paper demonstrates that the characteristic matrices are extracted more accurately by using a weighted equation and eliminating the matrix inverse operation. The method is verified for a four degree-of-freedom lumped parameter system and an eight degree-of-freedom finite element beam. Experimental verification is also performed for a free-free steel beam whose size and physical properties are the same as those of the finite element beam. The results show that the structural parameters, especially the damping matrix, can be estimated more accurately by the proposed method.

The main objective of this study is to provide a parametric evaluation of the pull-out response of steel fibers embedded in cementitious matrices. The various parameters controlling the behavior of the bond stress versus end slip relationship are analyzed; their effects on the entire pull-out load versus end slip response and the corresponding pull-out energy up to total pull-out are investigated. Also discussed are the effects of the fiber length, the water/binder ratio of the mixtures and embedded length.
