Abstract

Engineering Engineering, Mechanical Science & Technology Technology
The paper focuses on the development of an iterative minimization algorithm for structural identification. The algorithm consists of a Gauss-Newton method in which the ill-conditioning caused by noise pollution is mitigated by means of a multiplicative regularization technique used in conjunction with a bound constrained trust region method. Unlike the classic additive regularization technique, the amount of regularization is not determined a priori, but computed in an automatic fashion at each step of the iterative procedure. Specifically, the strength of the regularization is controlled by the norm of the model parameters weighted by a factor proportional to the current values of the least-square cost functional and the size of the trust region. The iterative procedure consists in solving a sequence of regularized local quadratic subproblems in a Sequential Quadratic Programming framework, for which a local convexity condition is given. The proposed method is finally tested in the retrieval of the equivalent stiffness of the soil and bearings of a real, in-service bridge pier that was tested using experimental modal analysis.
