Abstract:In structural engineering, the application of the finite element (FE) method to model a spatially-distributed system exploits physical insight into the plant dynamics and often results in a lumped model of large order, which is undesirable or even impossible for model-based controller design. This paper bridges the gap between FE modelling and distributed identification by proposing a novel identification technique to extract a distributed model from an FE model for both parameter-invariant and parameter-varyi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
