Abstract
A process parameter associated with a material contained in a conduit is estimated by estimating a real normal modal residual flexibility component associated with a real normal mode of motion of the conduit. A plurality of motion signals representing motion of the conduit is received. A residual-flexibility-compensated estimate of mass flow is generated from the received plurality of motion signals and the estimated real normal modal residual flexibility component. Related apparatus and computer program products are also described.
