Identification of variable coefficients for vibrating systems by boundary control and observation

We consider the identification problem of coefficients for vibrating systems described by a Euler-Bernoulli beam eq~. ation Or a string equation, with one end clamped and with an input exerted on the other end. For the beam equation, the observations are the velocity and the angle velocity at the free end, while for the string equation, the observation is the velocity at the free end. In the framework of well-posed linear system theory, we show that both the density and the flexural rigidity of the beam, and the tension of the string, can be uniquely determined by the observations for all positive times. Moreover, a general constructive method is developed to show that the mass density and the elastic modulus of the string are not determined by the observation.

A numerical method based on boundary integral equations and radial basis functions for plane anisotropic thermoelastostatic equations with general variable coefficients

A boundary integral method with radial basis function approximation is proposed for numerically solving an important class of boundary value problems governed by a system of thermoelastostatic equations with variable coe?cients. The equations describe the thermoelastic behaviors of nonhomogeneous anisotropic materials with properties that vary smoothly from point to point in space. No restriction is imposed on the spatial variations of the thermoelastic coe?cients as long as all the requirements of the laws of physics are satis?ed. To check the validity and accuracy of the proposed numerical method, some speci?c test problems with known solutions are solved.
