Abstract
Purpose
To propose and develop an identification method of material parameters from dynamics test in the presence of extensively corrupted measurements.
Design/methodology/approach
The method we propose, which is based on the use of the error in constitutive relation for identification problems in the framework of transient dynamics, leads to nonstandard wave propagation problems. For solving this numerical difficulty, we used the transition matrix method for short‐duration tests and the combined Riccati constant/transition matrix approach for long‐duration tests.
Findings
A numerical strategy adapted to the problem. Results obtained appears to be insensitive to perturbation of measurements up to a very high level of perturbation.
Research limitations/implications
Only simple case of elastic bar have been treated so far.
Originality/value
Without any a priori information on the level of perturbation, this method is robust with respect to the perturbation. A coupling of two resolution methods allows to deal with problem of arbitrary duration.
