» Abstract Estimation of the modal parameters from ambient vibration plays a fundamental role in structural health monitoring. To this end, a new compact bandwidth regularization approach is developed in this paper for output only modal analysis. The approach manipulates only on the measured signal and does not involve the structural model. The key ingredient lies in the compact bandwidth constraint...Continue Reading »
