A final presentation for ce291f on the estimation of soil parameters using dynamic system modeling and optimization. The presentation covers objectives, system modeling, identification, approach, cost function, optimization using the adjoint method, and numerical modeling. The study focuses on a bay mud site with a vertical array system and identifies shear modulus and visco-damping coefficient.
