โฆ Synopsis
The sensitivity method is applied to update finite element models of welded joints and the boundary condition of a cantilever plate. Careful parameterisation is found to be critical in updating joints and boundary conditions, and the merits of geometric parameters are given special consideration. The use of nodal offset dimensions results in an updated model of the welded joint with physical interpretation. Similarly the ''rigid'' boundary in a cantilever plate is successfully updated using the effective length of the elements closest to the joint. In all cases an improvement on the analytical natural frequencies is demonstrated.

In this paper, the determination is considered of the required experimental accuracy that must be attained when updating finite element models with use of measured vibration test data. A theoretical basis is developed for FRF-based updating techniques, as these use measured data directly. It is show
This paper presents a brief overview of the existing direct methods for the finite-element model (FEM) updating problem and reviews the recently developed 'direct and partial modal' approach for the partial eigenstructure assignment problem and the 'eigenvalue embedding' techniques for vibrating sys
Model updating techniques are used to update a finite element model of a structure so that an updated model predicts more accurately the dynamics of a structure. The application of such an updated model in dynamic design demands that it also predict the effects of structural modifications with a rea
A three-storey aluminium space frame is modelled using beam elements with unrepresentative rigid joints. Five model-updating experiments are carried out using di!erent sets of updating parameters. All of them are shown to produce improved predictions, even for modi"ed con"gurations of the frame. The
