Investigation of a Stochastic Inverse Method to Estimate an External Force: Applications to a Wave-Structure Interaction

The determination of an external force is a very important task for the purpose of control, monitoring, and analysis of damages on structural system. This paper studies a stochastic inverse method that can be used for determining external forces acting on a nonlinear vibrating system. For the purpos...
