In many areas of product manufacturing, constructions are often mechanically joined of
different materials to realize assemblies of various complexity with numerous point-shaped …

This paper is a review of information and related studies concerning topic of model updating
in structural dynamics. It is purposed to introduce and explain the important concept of the …

A hybrid optimization methodology is presented for the probabilistic finite element model
updating of structural systems. The model updating process is formulated as an inverse …

Multi-material design has been increasingly used in the automotive industry for structural
lightweighting. A novel resistance spot welding technique has been developed to join …

Model updating of joints in the AWE-MACE system is carried out using a sensitivity method.
The joints are characterised by large surface-to-surface contact regions and are excited in …

Abstract Model updating is concerned about the correction of finite element models by
processing the record of dynamic response from test structures in order to have an accurate …

This paper presents an effective approach for directly updating finite element model from
measured incomplete vibration modal data with regularised algorithms. The proposed …

The application of a stochastic model updating technique using Monte-Carlo inverse
propagation and multivariate multiple regression to converge a set of analytical models with …

Clinching is a mechanical joining technique that involves severe local plastic deformation of
two or more metal sheet parts resulting in a permanent mechanical interlock. Today, it is a …

Of the many spot weld models suggested in the literature, CWELD and ACM2 are the most
widely used in industry. They are coarse models with the important characteristic that they …
