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

This paper describes a procedure for detecting structural damage based on a microgenetic algorithm using incomplete and noisy modal test data. As the number of sensors used to measure modal data is normally small when compared with the degrees of freedom of the finite element model of the structure,
A method based on modal strain energy is presented for locating damage in a structure. This method makes use of the change of modal strain energy in each structural element before and after the occurrence of damage. Some properties of this Modal Strain Energy Change are given to illustrate its sensi
This paper deals with the important question of structural safety after extreme loadings like an earthquake. The structure investigated here is the so-called 'Steelquake' benchmark structure, a two-storey building which was subjected by an artificial seismic loading causing cracks at three locations
