Abstract
The finite element analysis is frequently used to prediet dynamic responses of complex structures. Since the predicted responses often differ from experimentally measured ones, updating of the finite element models is performed to make the finite element results agree with the measured ones. Among several model updating methods, one is to use FRF(frequency response funetion) data without a modal analysis. This paper investigates characteristics of the model updating method in order to improve the method. The investigation is focused on hOw to obtain FRfs for unmeasured rotational displacements and how to consider damping. For the investigation simulated data and experimental data for a cantilever beam are used.
