✦ Synopsis

In this paper, a new method of finite element model updating using neural networks is presented. Many previous model updating techniques have exhibited inconsistent performance when subjected to noisy experimental data. From this background it is clear that a successful model updating method must be resistant to experimental noise. A well-known property of neural networks is robustness in the presence of noise, and it is hoped to exploit this property for model updating purposes. The proposed updating method is tested on a simple simulated model, both in the absence and presence of noise, with promising results. A further advantage of this updating method is the ability to work with a limited number of experimentally measured degrees of freedom and modes.

Dynamic finite element (FE) model updating may be considered as an optimisation process. Over the past few years, two powerful new optimisation algorithms have been developed independently of each other; namely, the genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA). These algorithms are both proba

Model updating techniques are used to update a "nite element model of a structure so that an updated model predicts the dynamics of a structure more accurately. The application of such an updated model in dynamic design demands that it also predict the e!ects of structural modi"cations with a reason
