Distributed parameter systems arise naturally in the modelling of many physical structures whose dimension is such that propagation phenomena cannot be neglected. For instance they occur in vibration analysis in mechanics, or in modelling devices transmitting or receiving electromagnetic waves, or large multi-phase chemical reactors dominated by advection. The Algebraic Formulation is a ground-breaking method that, by using a purely algebraic approach, allows to obtain a discrete model of such systems that can be readily used for numerical implementation, in contrast with classical methods like FEM which are based on the discretization of sets of PDE . In this seminar the Algebraic Formulation, and the advantages it brings in terms of accuracy and convergence, will be introduced. The usefulness of this approach will be exemplified by applying it to the interesting case of fault diagnosis of distributed elastodynamic systems, which are representative of a whole class of problems related to on-line health monitoring of mechanical and civil engineering structures.
