Abstract

Deterministic and Bayesian finite element (FE) model updating techniques are computationally very demanding operations due to the large number of FE model re-analyses required. Component mode synthesis techniques are proposed to carry out the re-analyses efficiently in a substantially reduced space of generalized coordinates using exact component modes and characteristic interface modes computed only once from a reference FE model. The re-assembling of the reduced-order system matrices from components and interface modes is avoided. Theoretical and computational developments are demonstrated with model updating and damage identification applications for a highway bridge using a high fidelity model and simulated measurements.
