Finite element (FE) models are widely used to predict the dynamic characteristics of aerospace structures. These models often give results that differ from the measured results and therefore need to be updated to match the measured data. FE model updating entails tuning the model so that it can better reflect the measured data from the physical structure being modeled 1. One fundamental charact...

a non-linear finite element model could be a useful tool in the development of a method of predicting soil pressure-sinkage behaviour, and can be used to investigate and analyze soil compaction. this study was undertaken to emphasize that the finite element method (fem) is a proper technique to model soil pressure-sinkage behaviour. for this purpose, the finite element method was used to model ...

This paper proposes a novel computational framework for improving realism and fidelity of finite element analysis simulations through experimental test data. The proposed scheme utilizes an artificial neural network to learn and compensate for the differences between a finite element analysis model simulation and corresponding experiment. The proposed computational methodology is poised to sign...

This paper presents a brief review of recent developments on quadratic inverse eigenvalue problem with applications to active vibration control and finite element model updating.

This paper presents a software framework, PARIS (PARameter Identification System), developed for automated finite element model updating for structural health monitoring. With advances in Application Programming Interfaces (API) for modern computing, the traditional boundaries between different standalone software packages hardly exist. Now complex problems can be distributed between different ...
