An Efficient Iterative Updating Method for Damped Structural Systems

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.
