The identification of mathematical models of physical structures on the basis of experimental measurements is a problem that has been receiving increasing attention in the recent past. The main impetus for this phenomenon is the central role that appropriate mathematical models have in active structural control applications. For example, the success of precision active control of large space structures is based on the availability of accurate mathematical models of those structures. Since the size, nature, and configuration of these large, flexible structures preclude their identification on the ground, future space missions have an essential need for efficient on-orbit system identification procedures. |
