Estimation of Spatial Distribution of Disturbances

  • Conference paper
Special Topics in Structural Dynamics, Volume 6

Abstract

The information of spatial distribution of unmeasured disturbances is utilized in controller and observer design. In reality, due to the complexity in the systems, this information is seldom known a priori. Our focus in this study is to estimate the spatial distribution of disturbances from available measurements using a correlations approach that is developed in Kalman filter theory. In this approach one begins by “guessing” a filter gain and then the approach calculates the disturbance covariance matrices from analysis of the resulting innovations. This paper reviews the innovations correlations approach and examines its merit to localize the disturbances.
