Abstract: This paper presents a transient power flow balance formulation for identifying structural parameters from time domain responses. It is implemented at the substructure level where the concept is to balance the instantaneous powers by equating the input power to the dissipated power and the time rate of change of kinetic and strain energies. This imbalance is reduced to zero to identify the structural parameters. For better results the power balance method is combined with the conventional acceleration matching method where the objective is to minimize the deviation between measured and estimated accelerations - no additional sensors are required to incorporate the extra power flow balance criteria. Numerical simulations are performed for substructures taken from a lumped mass system, a planar truss and a cantilever beam. In numerical simulations, noise free and 3% noise contaminated response measurements are considered. The Particle Swarm approach is used as the optimization method with weighted aggregation multi-objective optimization (MO). The results demonstrate that the proposed combined method is more accurate in identifying the structural parameters of a system compared to previous methods.
