Description
Summary:Most of random dynamic loading identification research studies are about the original inverse pseudoexcitation method which does not fundamentally reduce the negative effect of ill-conditioned frequency response function matrix on accuracy of loading identification. This paper describes a new improved method based on weighted average technique to reduce peak errors between identified load spectrum and the actual load spectrum near some natural frequencies. Meanwhile, relative error of root mean square value between identified load and the actual load is reduced. The introduced selection method of threshold value is innovative which is the key of weighted average technique. This improved loading identification method is successfully applied to experiments of cantilever beam and thermal protection composite plate structure. Identification results prove that the proposed method is valid by good agreement between identified power spectrum density and the actual one. Moreover, this method has higher accuracy than inverse pseudoexcitation method in low-frequency band.
