A study on methods to compare measured and calculated modal data

Fokker Space and Systems and the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR performed a study to integrate more systematically the experimental and analytical analysis of the dynamic behaviour of structures. The study focused on the correlation of experimental and analytical data, matrix and parameter updating methods. In this paper an overview will be...

Correlation, error-localisation and updating of the second problem defined in GARTEUR AG11

A description is given of the second problem, a clamped-free truss structure, defined in the GARTEUR Action Group 11. The measured and calculated modal data of the structure are correlated, the locations of the errors are determined and finally the finite element model of the structure is updated. These analyses are performed with the B2000...
