Abstract

Complex aerospace structures typically include unknown states, parameters, or inputs. The unknown parameters may be due to changes in the structure that are not captured by the mathematical model assumed. These models are often reduced order models (ROM) that have simplified physics or have been obtained through data-driven techniques, such as trained neural networks. In this paper, we evaluate two data assimilation techniques to perform parameter estimation of dynamical systems by leveraging measured responses to correct process model predictions. We study two different noise models: discontinuous and continuous Gaussian noises. We use ensemble Kalman filter and Kalman-Bucy filter techniques on representative structures, such as the slender flat beam with nonlinear features to illustrate how this approach could be applied to more complex structures.
