... properties, etc., will be conducted. Then, a technique that provides a bridge between the two identification methods introduced in Part I, i.e., the random modal stiffnesses (RMS) and maximum likelihood (ML) approaches, will be presented. This technique, termed the improved random modal stiffnesses (IRMS...

..., this problem is indeterminate in nature. In this first part of the investigation, two distinct approaches will be investigated to resolve the shortfall of data. The first one relies on the imposition of as many constraints as needed to ensure a unique solution to this identification problem. Specifically...
