Abstract
The method to identify structural parameters of multi-degree of freedom structures by the wavelet transform of displacement response is previously proposed However, the vibration of structure is measured by the accelerometers. Therefore, if it is possible to identify structural parameters by the wavelet transform of only acceleration responses, it is very useful. In this paper, the method to identify structural parameters such as stiffness and damping by wavelet transform of acceleration responses is presented. To verify the applicability of the proposed method, numerical simulations using the single degree of freedom structure and the four-degree-of-freedom structure and the experiments using simple structural model are conducted. From both results, it has been clear that the proposed method can give the good estimation for the structural parameters.
