Finite Element model refinement with actual forced responses of structures
The formulation and computer algorithm for Finite Element model refinement based on correlation with frequency response test results have been developed. The proposed approach is derived from the direct frequency response formulation of dynamic systems. The computer algorithm has been effectively implemented in MSC/NASTRAN's DMAP language. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the method. Also, numerical difficulties and their possible solutions are discussed.
