Updating of Finite Element Models Including Damping [PDF]
Finite element models are updated in two stages in this paper. In the first stage, damping is neglected, and mass and stiffness matrices of a finite element model are updated using an optimization technique. The objective function for optimization consists of natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained from experimental modal testing data and finite ...

An improved spectral decomposition flexibility perturbation method for finite element model updating
Finite element analysis is the most powerful tool to predict the behavior of a structure in engineering practice. Generally, the initial finite element model must be corrected with experimental data due to its complexity.
