The goal of model-based structural identification is to find suitable values of parameters that affect structure behaviour. To this end, measurements are often compared with predictions of finiteelement models. Although residual minimization (RM) is a prominent methodology for structural identification, it provides wrong parameter identification when flawed model classes are adopted. Error-domain model falsification (EDMF) is an alternative methodology that helps identify candidate models – models that are compatible with behaviour measurements – among an initial model population. This study focuses on the comparison between RM and EDMF for the structural identification of a steel bridge in Exeter (UK). Advantages and limitations of both methodologies are discussed with reference to parameter identification and prognosis tasks such as quantification of reserve capacity. Results show that the employment of RM may lead to wrong identification and unsafe estimations of reserve capacity.

In order to improve the accuracy of rice transplanter model parameters, an online parameter identification algorithm for the rice transplanter model based on improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) algorithm and extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm was proposed. The dynamic model of the rice transplanter was established to determine the model parameters of the rice transplanter. Aiming at the problem that the noise matrices in EKF algorithm were difficult to select and affected the best filtering effect, the proposed algorithm used the IPSO algorithm to optimize the noise matrices of the EKF algorithm in offline state. According to the actual vehicle tests, the IPSO-EKF was used to identify the cornering stiffness of the front and rear tires online, and the identified cornering stiffness value was substituted into the model to calculate the output data and was compared with the measured data. The simulation results showed that the accuracy of parameter identification for the rice transplanter model based on the IPSO-EKF algorithm was improved, and established an accurate rice transplanter model.
