Finite element model updating has become an important topic in structural dynamic applications. It leads to either correction of errors in the model or damage detection and evaluation in a structure. This paper is concerned with the second application using the sensitivity-based updating approach. A

โฆ Synopsis
The paper examines the problem of detecting the location and extent of structural damage from measured vibration test data. The method is based upon a mathematical model representing the undamaged vibrating structure and a local description of the damage, e.g. a finite element for a cracked beam. The problem of modeling errors and their influence to damage localisation accuracy is discussed and an approach to obtain reliable results in this case is presented. The concept of inverse sensitivity equations is used which can be based on any type of data, e.g. modal data, FRFs, time series, or a combination of these. The resulting inverse problem usually is ill-posed, and therefore special attention is required for an accurate solution. The application to damage detection problems requires the reduction of a large set of damage parameter candidates to a small subset of one or two parameters that actually describes the local change of the system. An orthogonalisation strategy is given to reduce the parameter set. The method is demonstrated through application to laboratory structures in the frequency domain using frequency response functions and in the time domain.

The updating of "nite-element models commonly makes use of measured modal parameters. The number of modal parameters measured in a typical modal test is small, while the number of model parameters to be adjusted can be large. In this paper, it is shown that the natural frequencies for the structure
The authors propose the use of generic elements as a viable tool for parametric model based damage detection. The subject is divided into two related papers, and this paper is concerned with the requirements of the baseline model for damage detection, and the use of model updating to produce a valid
Missing measurements of a structure can be calculated by using the connection between the unmeasured quantities and the measured ones through the iterative process of identification of the tested structure. New connections are proposed. The missing quantities, and to some extent the measured ones, a
