Abstract: The force acting on a thin plate is reconstructed in the time domain from particle velocity measurements. First, the impulse response function between the force spectrum and vibration velocity spectrum on the surface of the plate is deduced based on the equation of motion of the thin plate, and the impulse response function between the vibration velocity spectrum on the plate surface and particle velocity spectrum on the hologram plane is also utilized to establish the transfer relation directly relating the force spectrum to the particle velocity spectrum in the wavenumber-time domain. Based on this, the force spectrum at each wavenumber point is reconstructed with the particle velocity measured on the hologram plane as the input. The time-dependent force on the plate surface is obtained by performing an inverse spatial Fourier transform to its force spectrum. Both results of numerical simulation and experiment demonstrate that the approach of force reconstruction from particle velocity measurements is feasible and effective in identifying the location of the excitation force and reconstructing its time-history. Meanwhile, the similar reconstruction accuracy can be achieved by the proposed approach compared to the existing reconstruction approach based on pressure measurements, but its reconstruction process can be performed more simply. A real-time and non-contact measurement way is provided here to obtain the time-dependent force acting on a plate, and the direct relationship between the force and the radiated noise is determined, which makes it possible to further understand the mechanical cause of the radiated noise.
