Abstract:
Dynamic systems described by nonlinear differential equations of the second order are studied. It is assumed that certain
preliminary information on the dissipative or elastic characteristics of systems is known. A new approach is demonstrated
to obtaining full information on unknown or partially known characteristics of a system from measurements of not only displacements
but also velocities and accelerations
