The dynamic impact history obtained from the proposed method is verified with impact hammers with inbuilt force sensors. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated with FEM computations based on the acquired impact history to predict the transient responses of a flexible cantilever beam.Dynamic History Of Impact LoadingsFlexible StructurePvdfTransient ResponseDynamic ImpactsExperimental MethodsFlexible Cantilever BeamForce SensorImpact HammersImpact LoadingsPolyvinylidene FluoridesPvdfFlexible StructuresFluorine CompoundsTransient AnalysisLoadingjournal article10.1007/s11340-013-9802-x2-s2.0-84896723740
