Dynamic displacement field reconstruction through a limited set of measurements: Application to plates

Abstract The paper presents a procedure for the identification of the full-field dynamic response of a structure from a limited set of experimental measurements. An iterative technique based on modal decomposition maps the displacement field of the vibrating structure by using experimental data in conjunction with the numerical model of the considered structure. Algebraic relationships between experimental measurements and equivalent modal loads allow the identification of the full-field dynamic response from few experimental data. This procedure is detailed for a plate structure subjected to a harmonic concentrated load.
