The Ph.D. thesis of Palle Andersen can
be downloaded from this link in PDF
format. The scope of the thesis are the
theoretical and numerical aspects of
Operational Modal Analysis using sampled
data.
Part one of the thesis concerns the
derivation of a covariance equivalent
stochastic model structure accounting
for both the unmeasurable excitation as
well as unmeasurable 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)
