However, as an ill-posed inverse problem, the solution to these models often fails to converge, especially when dealing with dynamic loads of different frequencies. To overcome this problem, a piecewise Tikhonov regularization method (PTR) is proposed to reconstruct dynamic loads. The transfer function matrix is built both using the denoised excitations and the corresponding responses. After singular value decomposition (SVD), the singular values are divided into submatrices of different sizes by utilizing a piecewise function. The regularization parameters are solved by optimizing the piecewise submatrices. The experimental result shows that the MREs of the PTR method are 6.20% at 70 Hz and 5.86% at 80 Hz. The traditional Tikhonov regularization method based on GCV exhibits MREs of 28.44% and 29.61% at frequencies of 70 Hz and 80 Hz, respectively, whereas the L-curve-based approach demonstrates MREs of 29.98% and 18.42% at the same frequencies. Furthermore, the PREs of the PTR method are 3.54% at 70 Hz and 3.73% at 80 Hz. The traditional Tikhonov regularization method based on GCV exhibits PREs of 27.01% and 26.88% at frequencies of 70 Hz and 80 Hz, respectively, whereas the L-curve-based approach demonstrates PREs of 29.50% and 15.56% at the same frequencies. All in all, the method proposed in this paper can be extensively applied to load reconstruction across different frequencies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24092744","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,26]],"date-time":"2024-04-26T03:23:47Z","timestamp":1714101827000},"page":"2744","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Application of Piecewise Regularization Reconstruction to the Calibration of Strain Beams"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Metrology Measurement and Instrument, China Jiliang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wensong","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Metrology Measurement and Instrument, China Jiliang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zai","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Metrology Measurement and Instrument, China Jiliang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Penghao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Changcheng Institute of Metrology & Measurement, Aviation Industry Corporation, Beijing 100095, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, China Jiliang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8292-0932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yinbao","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Metrology Measurement and Instrument, China Jiliang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dian","family":"Bian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Metrology Measurement and Instrument, China Jiliang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2361-9207","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaru","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Metrology Measurement and Instrument, China Jiliang University, Hangzhou 310018, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115040","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jsv.2019.115040","article-title":"Experimental and Numerical Characterization of a Ceramic Matrix Composite Shroud Segment under Impact Loading","volume":"467","author":"Nyssen","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
