Ph.D. Thesis of Palle Andersen
   
 

The Ph.D. thesis of Palle Andersen can be downloaded from this link in PDF format. The scopes of the thesis are the theoretical and numerical aspects of output-only modal analysis using sampled data.
Part one of the thesis concerns the derivation of a covariance equivalent stochastic model structure accounting for both the immeasurable excitation as well as immeasurable disturbance. (Chapters: 1-4)
Part two describes one of the ways to estimate a model with above mentioned structure, and how to extract the modal parameters. (Chapters: 5-7)
Finally, part three presents some experimental results as well as the conclusions. (Chapters: 8-10)
