| dc.description.abstract | We develop a method for estimation of parameters of an elastic plate resting on a Winkler-type elastic foundation solely from data on the vertical displacements of the plate. The method allows one to estimate components of the external body force density field, plate thickness, elastic foundation stiffness parameters, horizontal displacements of the plate, and stresses. The key idea of the method is that multiple plate models are used simultaneously, namely the proposed reduced three-dimensional (R3D) plate model, the Mindlin plate model, and the thin plate model. The three plate models form a hierarchy of elastic plate models based on assumptions imposed on stresses, with the R3D plate model being the most generalized model and the thin plate model being the most constrained one. The hierarchical relationship among the plate models allows one to incorporate prior information into the estimation technique. The applicability of the proposed estimation method is illustrated by a numerical example. | |
