Title: Peng Yin and Structural Load Identification

Introduction

Peng Yin is an inventor associated with Ladera Ranch, California, and Bentley Systems, Inc. His patent work addresses methods for identifying external loads acting on structures by calibrating finite element models against measured structural responses.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Peng Yin: Finite Element Calibration for Structural Load Identification. The invention describes a two-stage approach. First, material or geometric attributes in a structural model are adjusted to reduce differences between measured and modeled responses. The calibrated model is then used to identify external structural loads that further minimize those differences.

The method can evaluate dynamic and static responses. It may use a genetic algorithm to propose sets of loads, apply them to the model, calculate an error function, and iteratively refine the proposed solutions until a stopping criterion is met. This approach is intended to improve the identification of loads from observed structural behavior. Yin is credited with 1 patent in the information provided.
