Abstract: Model updating is an inverse eigenvalue problem which
concerns the modification of an existing but inaccurate model with
measured modal data. In this paper, an efficient gradient based
iterative method for updating the mass, damping and stiffness
matrices simultaneously using a few of complex measured modal
data is developed. Convergence analysis indicates that the iterative
solutions always converge to the unique minimum Frobenius norm
symmetric solution of the model updating problem by choosing a
special kind of initial matrices.
Abstract: In this paper the gradient based iterative algorithm is
presented to solve the linear matrix equation AXB +CXTD = E,
where X is unknown matrix, A,B,C,D,E are the given constant
matrices. It is proved that if the equation has a solution, then the
unique minimum norm solution can be obtained by choosing a special
kind of initial matrices. Two numerical examples show that the
introduced iterative algorithm is quite efficient.
Abstract: A new numerical method for simultaneously updating mass and stiffness matrices based on incomplete modal measured data is presented. By using the Kronecker product, all the variables that are to be modified can be found out and then can be updated directly. The optimal approximation mass matrix and stiffness matrix which satisfy the required eigenvalue equation and orthogonality condition are found under the Frobenius norm sense. The physical configuration of the analytical model is preserved and the updated model will exactly reproduce the modal measured data. The numerical example seems to indicate that the method is quite accurate and efficient.
Abstract: In this paper we develop an efficient numerical method for the finite-element model updating of damped gyroscopic systems based on incomplete complex modal measured data. It is assumed that the analytical mass and stiffness matrices are correct and only the damping and gyroscopic matrices need to be updated. By solving a constrained optimization problem, the optimal corrected symmetric damping matrix and skew-symmetric gyroscopic matrix complied with the required eigenvalue equation are found under a weighted Frobenius norm sense.
Abstract: In this paper the gradient based iterative algorithms are presented to solve the following four types linear matrix equations: (a) AXB = F; (b) AXB = F, CXD = G; (c) AXB = F s. t. X = XT ; (d) AXB+CYD = F, where X and Y are unknown matrices, A,B,C,D, F,G are the given constant matrices. It is proved that if the equation considered has a solution, then the unique minimum norm solution can be obtained by choosing a special kind of initial matrices. The numerical results show that the proposed method is reliable and attractive.
