Abstract The problem of identification of nonlinear system parameters from measured time histories of response under known excitations is considered. Solutions to this problem are obtained by using the force state mapping technique with two alternative functional representation schemes. These schemes are based on the application of reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM) and kriging techniques to fit the force state map. The RKPM has the capability to reproduce exactly polynomials of specified order at any point in a given domain. The kriging based methods represent the function under study as a random field and the parameters… More >
