STRUCTURAL IDENTIFICATION OF DYNAMIC SYSTEMS USING PARAMETER UPDATING REANALYSIS METHOD: EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION USING THE MEASURED DATA
In this study, the proposed parameter updating reanalysis method was directly used on the measured data of the structures. Structural reanalysis generates a correlated analytical model that defines the structure on applying the initially assumed baseline analytical model and is presented through the structure’s FRF (frequency response function). Two numerical tests were previously conducted in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested reanalysis method. The suggested method generates the correlated analytical model with higher precision, as compared to the existing method, despite the application of the noise factor to the observed data. The method initially proven by the numerical experiment of an actual structure was applied to a pseudo-dynamic test on the full-scale concrete pier. The results indicate that the proposed reanalysis is useful even for application to response data of the actual structure.
