Hi everyone,

i am studying the behaviour of Slab under machine induced vibration. in my case the machine is mounted on the Reinforced concrete (RC) Slab.

I know the modal property of slab like m,k and wn for each mode of vibration. also I have also calculated the Impulse Response function of the Slab h(t). also by puting the accelerometre at various nodes on the slab i have the data for the Response of the structure X(t). now as you all know,

X(t) = h(t) * y(t)

where y(t) is the input forcing function which is convlolved with h(t) to give response of the structure X(t).

now in my case I know h(t) and X(t) and I want to find the input forcing function y(t).

can anybody help me how to deconvolve this equation [h(t)*y(t)] so that I can find the input y(t)?

looking forward for your support.

regards,
Rahul.
