Abstract:
Mathematical models of structures are validated by adjusting them to match the results of static and dynamic tests. Several automated methods have been developed to aid in the test-analysis correlation process. A recent method uses design sensitivity and optimization methods to directly adjust the finite element model. The strengths and weaknesses of this method are demonstrated by the test-analysis correlation results from several modal surveys.
