Load Localization and Reconstruction Using a Variable Separation Method

الملخص EN

Load identification is very important in engineering practice.

In this paper, a novel method for load reconstruction and localization is proposed.

In the traditional load localization method, location information is coupled to the impulse response matrix.

The inversion of the impulse response matrix leads the process of load localization to be time-consuming.

So we propose a variable separation method to separate the load location information from the impulse response matrix.

An error optimization function of load histories in different modes is employed to determine the true load location.

After locating the external load, the load time history can be easily reconstructed by the measurement responses and determinate impulse response matrix.

This method is verified by simulations of a simply supported beam acted by a sine load and an impact separately.

An experiment is also carried out to validate the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed method.
