Abstract: Improved inverse eigensensitivity method and improved frequency response function (FRF) sensitivity method developed for analytical model updating have become increasingly popular among other methods ...

Abstract: Electronic total stations and data collectors have come to be recognized as vital productivity tools in the age of digital mapping. Information encoded in data collectors represents the first and, perhaps, most important ...

Abstract: An “equivalent homogeneous, orthotropic” model that includes edge effects and an accompanying finite element analysis is presented for elastomeric bearings. The model is developed for three‐dimensional configurations with ...

Abstract: Verified/predictive modeling has become an integral part of electronic packaging product development in order to reduce costs and cycle time. In this paper, interferometric displacement measurement ...

Abstract: A first known investigation into the vibratory characteristics of rectangular Mindlin plates with intermediate stiffeners is presented. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is used, with displacement and ...

Abstract: In order to update analytical models of practical engineering structures, inverse eigensensitivity method (IEM) has been developed. Though it has nowadays been widely accepted, the classical inverse ...

Abstract: A new method for the estimation of modal parameters is presented in this paper. Unlike the majority of the existing methods which involve complicated curve fitting and interpolative procedures, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a general purpose technique for identifying (extracting) the dynamic properties of nonlinear joints using dynamic test data. No theoretical model is required, only experimental ...
