Abstract
Finite element (FE) models of structures have been quite useful in both static and dynamic analyses of structures. However, quite often, these models are not reliable enough since predictions based on them may not be found to have acceptable correlation with experimentally obtained data. This paper attempts updating of bearing radial and tilt stiffness as well as damping parameters of a rotor system by using inverse eigen sensitivity method (IESM). Non-proportional viscous damping model has been used in modelling damping coefficients of bearings. The state space form of equations of motion of the system is used in applying the IESM for model updating. The results show that both stiffness and damping coefficients of bearings can be effectively found out by using the IESM. The method is found to update the eigenvalues quite well even under the presence of measurement noise.
