Abstract | This paper develops a novel method for moving force identification (MFI) called preconditioned least square QR-factorization (PLSQR) method. The algorithm seeks to reduce the impact of identification errors caused by unknown noise. The biaxial moving forces travel on a simply supported bridge at three different speeds is used to generate numerical simulations to assess the effectiveness and applicability of the algorithm. Results indicate that the method is more robust towards ill-posed problem and has higher identification precision than the conventional time domain method (TDM). In addition, the robustness and ill-posed immunity of PLSQR are directly affected by two kinds of regularization parameters, namely, number of iterations j and regularization matrix L. Compared with the standard form of least square QR-factorization (LSQR), i.e., the regularization matrix L being the identity matrix I_n, the PLSQR with the optimal number of iterations j and regularization matrix L has many advantages on MFI and it is more suitable for field trials due to better adaptability with type of sensors and number of sensors. |
