Estimation of elastic parameters in beams and certain plates: \(H^ 1\)- regularization (Q1095720): Difference between revisions

The estimation of elastic parameters in beams and certain types of plates is discussed using an \(H^ 1\)-regularization technique that easily accomodates pointwise constraints. The optimal coefficient is shown to enjoy more regularity than that assumed in the formulation of the problem. This additional smoothness is useful for analyzing the limit behavior of finite-dimensional problems. Numerical results are presented.
