Masłowski, Andrzej State identification concept in structural dynamics. (English) Zbl 0559.93023 Zagadnienia Drgań Nieliniow. 22, 263-276 (1984). The paper presents the problem and connected with it mathematical methods of state identification for space-time systems in structural dynamics in the case of incomplete information about the system. The state identification problem is formulated with the use of a mathematical model of the dynamics and observations of the system as well as a proposed identification quality index. A characterization of the solution is given, based on modern variational calculus and analytical mechanics. Mathematical methods of the state identification for some class of systems are presented with the use of Lagrange’s functionals, dynamic programming, maximum principle, finite differences, finite elements, invariant imbedding and multilevel optimization. Examples of application of the presented state identification concept are given.
