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: 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 ...

Abstract: Derivatives of eigenvalues and eigenvectors have become increasingly important in the development of modern numerical methods for areas such as structural design optimization, dynamic system ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional elasticity solution to the vibrations of stress-free hollow cylinders of arbitrary cross section is presented. The natural frequencies and deformed mode shapes of these cylinders ...

Abstract: A comprehensive investigation on free vibration of three-dimensional elastic solids of rectangular planform is reported. The continuum is considered to be free from normal and in-plane stresses ...

Abstract: A procedure is presented for determining the three-dimensional elasticity solutions for free vibration analysis of simply supported thick skew plates. The exact expressions of strain and kinetic ...
