Impact Load Identification Using Optimal Sensor Placement And Model Reduction, Bella Jackson Chembakassery

Theses and Dissertations

Any structure which is used in service can be subjected to different kinds of loads such as static, dynamic, moving or impact loads. It is very much necessary such structures are reliable and robust enough to be used for service. Hence accurately estimating the load acting on the structure is very important. In case of impact loading, it is very difficult to estimate the load because it acts for a short period of time. For such loading, the structural response of the system can be used as a medium to estimate the applied load. The structural response used could be …
