Abstract

The focus of the present study is on the development of a methodology for estimating the parameters of a cantilever beam based on experimentally measured vibration response. A aluminum cantilever beam of known dimensions is excited at a known location and the tip accelerations are measured. Subsequently, a particle-filtering-based strategy is used to estimate the system parameters from the vibration response.
