Abstract For the inverse vibration problem, a Lie-group shooting method is proposed to simultaneously estimate the time-dependent damping and stiffness functions by using two sets of displacement as inputs. First, we transform these two ODEs into two parabolic type PDEs. Second, we formulate the inverse vibration problem as a multi-dimensional two-point boundary value problem with unknown coefficients, allowing us to develop the Lie-group shooting method. For the semi-discretizations of PDEs we thus obtain two coupled sets of linear algebraic equations, from which the estimation of damping and stiffness coefficients can be written out explicitly. The present approach is very interesting, which… More >
