Abstract

Abstract An application of a Finite Element Model updating is presented in this paper. Two Finite Element models were considered: a reinforced plate and a thin-walled beam. The two parts were numerically calculated in ANSYS Mechanical APDL and MATLAB programs. ANSYS performs Finite Element calculations, and a MATLAB programming code was used to control the optimization procedure. Geometric variables were chosen, to evaluate the value of the defined objective function. The material was picked using available selection charts, to find the most adequate one for the study. It has been concluded that the transveral displacement of the models modified by the optimization process decreased sharply in relation to the original state.
