Review of model updating processes used for brake components [PDF]
, 2015 To be confident in the prediction capability of a model, verification and validation steps are classically performed. Verification checks that the model is properly solved. Since the model used are fairly standard, this is not issue for brake components.

Parameter Identification in FEM of Mechanical Structure Within NPP Based on Seismic Response
MachinesReliable finite element models (FEMs) are required in seismic qualification of mechanical structures within a nuclear power plant (NPP). The relative displacement response of such mechanical structures is difficult to measure, and it is costly to extract

An indirect data-driven model-updating framework to estimate soil–pile interaction parameters using output-only data [PDF]
This paper presents a data-driven model updating framework to estimate the operational parameters of a laterally-impacted pile. The goal is to facilitate the estimation of soil–pile interaction parameters such as the mobilized mass and stiffness, as well

A Novel Stochastic Finite Element Model Updating Method Based on Multi-Point Sensitivities
Applied SciencesA novel stochastic finite element model updating method based on multi-point sensitivities is proposed to improve the reproduction and prediction ability of finite element models for experimental data. Drawing upon the theory of small perturbations, this

A Two-Step Method for Damage Identification and Quantification in Large Trusses via Wavelet Transform and Optimization Algorithm [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2019 This paper suggests a two-step approach for damage prognosis in long trusses in which the first step deals with locating probable damages by wavelet transform (WT) and static deflection derived from modal data with the intention of declining the ...

Update on desiccant wheel model
International Journal of Energy Research, 2004 This short communication presents the update on the desiccant wheel models, developed earlier by the present authors. It is to be mentioned here that the psycrometric model presented earlier (Int. J. Energy Res., 2003; 27:17) is valid only for the desiccant wheel running with identical volume air-flows in supply and regeneration sides.
