This paper presents a sensitivity-based finite element (FE)-model update procedure for prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridge model using vibration test results. Firstly, the stiffness parameters of the structure such as flexural rigidity of concrete and flexural rigidity of tendon are chosen as updating parameters. Next, the numerical frequencies of first two bending modes are calculated using a three-dimensional FE model which is established for the PSC girder. Then, the corresponding experimental frequencies which are obtained from forced vibration tests are selected. In order to perform the model update, the eigensensitivity-based method is employed. Finally, the effect of prestress-loss on the stiffness parameters is evaluated.

이 논문에서는 공용중인 구조물의 상시 계측 자료를 사용한 온라인 유한요소 모델 업데이트 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 최적화 방법에 기반한 기존의 방법은 최적해를 찾기까지 반복적으로 고유치 해석을 수행해야 하므로 상시 업데이트에 사용하기에는 효과적이지 못하다. 제안하는 방법은 별도의 오프라인 작업이나 사용자의 개입이 없이 자동화된 과정으로 계측과 동시에 온라인 유한요소모델 업데이트를 수행할 수 있는 새로운 방법이다. 자동화된 Cov-SSI 알고리즘을 통해 구조물의 진동 계측 신호로부터 고유진동수 및 모드 형상을 식별하고, 이를 다시 역 고유치 신경망에 입력하여 최종적으로 업데이트된 유한요소 모델의 파라미터를 추정한다. 풍하중을 받는 20층 전단 빌딩 구조 모형에 대한 수치예제를 통해 제시한 방법이 자동으로 연속적인 유한요소모델 업데이트를 할 수 있었음을 확인하였다. 또한, 계측 도중 구조물의 특성이 변화하는 시나리오에 대한 예제에서 구조물의 변화가 일어나는 시점과 변화 후 변동된 구조 모델 파라미터 값을 성공적으로 추정할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The finite element analysis (FEA) is widely used in modern structural dynamics because the performance of structure can be predicted in early stage. However, due to the difficulty in determination of various uncertain parameters, it is not easy to obtain a reliable finite element model. To overcome these difficulties, a updating program of FE model is developed by consisting of pretest, correlation and update. In correlation, it calculates modal assurance criteria, cross orthogonality, mixed orthogonality and coordinate modal assurance criteria. For the model updating, the continuum sensitivity analysis and design optimization tool(DOT) are used. The SENSUP program is developed for model updating giving physical parameter sensitivity. The developed program is applied to practical examples such as the BLDC spindle motor of HDD, and upper housing of induction motor. And the sensor placement for the square plate is compared using several methods.

Despite of the development in the finite element method, it is difficult to get the finite element model describing the dynamic characteristics of the complex structure exactly. Therefore a number of different methods have been developed in order to update the finite element model of a structure using vibration test data. This paper outlines the basic formulation for the frequency response function based updating method. One important advantage of this method is that the intermediate step of performing an eigensolution extraction is unnecessary. Using simulated experimental data, studies are conducted in the case of 10 DOF discrete system. The solution of noisy and incomplete experimental data is discussed. True measured frequency response function data are used for updating the finite element model of a beam and a plate. Its applicability to the joint identification is also considered.

In this paper, the structural health monitoring (SHM) benchmark problem of the Canton tower is studied. Based on the field monitoring data from the 20 accelerometers deployed on the tower, some modal frequencies and mode shapes at measured degrees of freedom of the tower are identified. Then, these identified incomplete modal data are used to update the reduced finite element (FE) model of the tower by a novel algorithm. The proposed algorithm avoids the problem of subjective selection of updated parameters and directly updates model stiffness matrix without model reduction or modal expansion approach. Only the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the normal finite element models corresponding to the measured modes are needed in the computation procedures. The updated model not only possesses the measured modal frequencies and mode shapes but also preserves the modal frequencies and modes shapes in their normal values for the unobserved modes. Updating results including the natural frequencies and mode shapes are compared with the experimental ones to evaluate the proposed algorithm. Also, dynamic responses estimated from the updated FE model using remote senor locations are compared with the measurement ones to validate the convergence of the updated model.

In this paper, modal analysis of wind-power generator rotor system was performed by using finite element method. Experimental modal analysis of generator rotor system was performed and the result were compared with analytical ones. Sensitivity method and localized modification method were used to update finite element model. As a result of updating finite element model, errors of natural freguency were reduced within 0.5％ and MAC value was improved near by l. Stability characteristics of wind-power generator rotor-bearing system through harmonic analysis about several external force will be analyzed using finite element model.

This paper presents a multi-phase model update approach for system identification of prestressed concrete (PSC) girders under various prestress forces. First, a multi-phase model update approach designed on the basis of eigenvalue sensitivity concept is newly proposed. Next, the proposed multi-phase approach is evaluated from controlled experiments on a lab-scale PSC girder for which forced vibration tests are performed for a series of prestress forces. On the PSC girder, a few natural frequencies and mode shapes are experimentally measured for the various prestress forces. The corresponding modal parameters are numerically calculated from a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model which is established for the target PSC girder. Eigenvalue sensitivities are analyzed for potential model-updating parameters of the FE model. Then, structural subsystems are identified phase-by-phase using the proposed model update procedure. Based on model update results, the relationship between prestress forces and model-updating parameters is analyzed to evaluate the influence of prestress forces on structural subsystems.

본 논문에서는 지점부 경계조건을 고려하여 단순보의 유한요소모델을 개선하는 기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 유한요소모델개선 기법은 주로 가속도 응답으로부터 추정된 동특성(고유진동수, 모드형상)을 이용하여 유한요소모델을 개선하였다. 이렇게 개선된 유한요소모델은 실제 구조물의 정적응답을 예측하기 어렵고, 잘못된 구조물의 물성치를 추정하는 문제가 발생한다. 제안된 기법은 먼저, 구조물의 처짐과 지점부 회전변위를 계측하여 지점부 경계조건을 간략화한 유한요소모델의 회전 스프링 강성을 정량적으로 추정한다. 회전 스프링 강성이 개선된 유한요소모델과 구조물의 동특성을 사용하여 구조물의 물성치를 추정함으로써 최종 개선된 유한요소모델을 구축된다. 제안된 유한요소모델 개선 기법과 기존 유한요소모델개선 기법을 수치해석 시뮬레이션을 통하여 비교 및 검증하였다.

In this paper, we have proposed a wear growth prediction method on the surface of rubber pad of track assembly installed in high-speed battle tank i.e. the automatic model updating code interfacing with commercial finite element simulation software. Also, simple and resonable geometrical, material finite element model was established to be easily updated based on the empirical threshold value of contact pressure on the contact surface. From the iterative model update and analysis results, we discovered a weak point on rubber pad surface and suggested a new design concept for improving the wear performance of track assembly.

This study investigates the possibility of damage detection of a real bridge by means of a modal parameter-based finite element (FE) model update. Field moving vehicle experiments were conducted on an actual steel plate girder bridge. In the damage experiment, cracks were applied to the bridge to simulate damage states. A fast Bayesian FFT method was employed to identify and quantify uncertainties of the modal parameters then these modal parameters were used in the Bayesian model update. Material properties and boundary conditions are taken as uncertainties and updated in the model update process. Observations showed that although some differences existed in the results obtained from different model classes, the discrepancy between modal parameters of the FE model and those experimentally obtained was reduced after the model update process, and the updated parameters in the numerical model were indeed affected by the damage. The importance of boundary conditions in the model updating process is also observed. The capability of the MCMC model update method for application to the actual bridge structure is assessed, and the limitation of FE model update in damage detection of bridges using only modal parameters is observed.
