“…The economical benefits of component mode synthesis techniques in model updating work have attracted the scientist and engineering communities (Zhang and Natke, 1991;Link, 1997 Biondi andMuscolino, 2003;Masson et al, 2006;Cerulli et al, 2007) to use the coupling techniques in the reconciliation between the finite element models and the tested structures. The substructuring synthesis techniques discussed and presented in the preceding paragraphs basically have the same general ideas, however, in fact, substantive differences exist.…”
