In this paper, we propose a two-step iterative approach to both localize and reconstruct a
single point force acting on a structure. Since force reconstruction problems are typically ill …

In engineering practice, localization and reconstruction of external excitations is a tough
problem in absence of prior knowledge. Traditional regularization approaches require …

Most of existing methods for force identification assume the force locations to be known a
priori. In this paper, we propose a novel recursive algorithm, named sparse Kalman filter, to …

The issue of localizing and reconstructing the impact force through double-inverse
approaches is widely recognized as an ill-posed and computationally demanding problem …

Dynamic forces reconstruction from vibration data is an ill-posed inverse problem. A
standard approach to stabilize the reconstruction consists in using some prior information on …

Indirectly reconstructing distributed forces from measured structural response is necessary
when the direct measurement of these dynamic forces is not possible. An improved method …

Identification of force via structural responses has been widely studied due to the force is
always difficult or even impossible to be measured directly. Force identification is a typical ill …

Unknown initial conditions can affect the identified accuracy of dynamic forces. Direct
measurement of initial conditions is relatively difficult. This study proposes a sparse …

This paper presents an algorithm for the localization of forces applied to a structure. The
force estimation is performed in the frequency domain based on a limited number of sensors …

The identification of excitations on plates by an inverse method using local Finite Element
modeling is studied. A dynamic condensation is proposed in order to eliminate Degrees Of …
