This study presents a new updating method based on measured frequency response functions. The objective function of the minimization procedure is formed by the difference between the measured and the analytical frequency responses. The updating parameters are the correction coefficients related to each the elementary mass and stiffness matrices. While making use of a number of incomplete measurements for some frequencies, one builds a non-linear system of equations. The linearisation of the numerical system leads to an iterative procedure. An intrinsic frequency parametrization is proposed in order to accelerate the convergence of the iterative system. The obtained results are comparable with those of the known least squares methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
