An inverse coefficient problem of identifying the flexural rigidity in damped Euler–Bernoulli beam from measured boundary rotation

We present a new mathematical model and method for identifying the unknown flexural rigidity r ( x ) in the damped Euler–Bernoulli beam equation ρ ( x ) w t t + μ ( x ) w t + ( r ( x ) w x x ) x x − ( T r ( x ) w x ) x = F ( x , t ) , ( x , t ) ∈ Ω T := ( 0 , ℓ ) × ( 0 , T ) , subject to the simply...

Summary:We present a new mathematical model and method for identifying the unknown flexural rigidity r ( x ) in the damped Euler–Bernoulli beam equation ρ ( x ) w t t + μ ( x ) w t + ( r ( x ) w x x ) x x − ( T r ( x ) w x ) x = F ( x , t ) , ( x , t ) ∈ Ω T := ( 0 , ℓ ) × ( 0 , T ) , subject to the simply supported boundary conditions w ( 0 , t ) = w x x ( 0 , t ) = 0 , w ( ℓ , t ) = w x x ( ℓ , t ) = 0 , from the available measured boundary rotation θ ( t ) := w x ( 0 , t ) . We prove the existence of a quasi-solution and derive an explicit gradient formula for the Fréchet derivative of the Tikhonov functional J ( r ) = ‖ w x ( 0 , ⋅ ; r ) − θ ‖ L 2 ( 0 , T ) 2 . The results obtained here also form the basis of gradient-based computational methods for solving this class of inverse coefficient problems. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Non-smooth variational problems and applications’.
