Abstract
Model updating techniques are used to modify structural model for more accurate predictions of dynamics behavior. A simple survey on the model updating methods and correlation criteria is presented. Based on the inverse eigensensitivity method (IESM) and modal assurance criterion (MAC), a scheme of model updating for structures is presented and realized by user defined subroutine combined with APDL in commercial software ANSYS®. A four-DOF spring-mass system is assumed and updated, from which the predicted frequencies and MAC values are satisfied compared to the actual dynamics characteristics. This gives evidence that the presented model updating scheme is feasible and efficient. Furthermore, a cylindrical shell structure containing global and local modal information is established to research the updating ability of the scheme on some focused local modal information. The results due to the updated model of cylindrical shell structure show that not only the global modal data but also the local modal data have a good agreement with that of the actual structure.
