Updating of Finite Element Model in Considering Mode Errors with Fuzzy Theory

Article Preview

Abstract:

Finite element model updating aims at reconciling the analytical model with the test one, to acquire a refined model with high-fidelity in structural dynamic properties. However, testing data are inevitable polluted by noises. In this study, the mode parameters and design variables are modeled as fuzzy variables, and a fuzzy model updating method is developed. Instead of a single optimal model, a set of satisfactory models is obtained. The most physically compatible solution is sorted by insights to the structures. The proposed method is applied to a real concrete bridge, for which a physically meaningful model is identified.
