Abstract

Dynamic load identification is the second kind of inverse problem in structural dynamics. It is a process of reconstructing load applied to structure in case of structural dynamic model and information of structural response. Online identification is one of the frontier problems in dynamic load identification, which has high difficulty and broad application prospects. In this paper, an online identification of dynamic load of the multi-degree-of-freedom system based on Kalman filter in modal space is proposed. Since the Kalman filter has excellent real-time performance and robustness, it is possible to be used in dynamic load online identification. We start from the theoretical derivation in detail for the multi-degree-of-freedom system, then the feasibility and effectiveness of the method is verified by numerical simulation of three-degree-of-freedom system with the single impact load and continuous multiple impact load.
