For large-scale structures, the calculation of the eigensolution and the eigensensitivity is usually very time-consuming. This paper develops the Kron's substructuring method to compute the first-order derivatives of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors with respect to the structural parameters. The global structure is divided into several substructures. The eigensensitivity of the substructures are calculated via the conventional manner, and then assembled into the eigensensitivity of the global structure by performing some constraints on the derivative matrices of the substructures. With the proposed substructuring method, the eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives with respect to an elemental parameter are computed within the substructure solely which contains the element, while the derivative matrices of all other substructures with respect to the parameter are zero. Consequently this can reduce the computation cost significantly. The proposed substructuring method is applied to the GARTEUR AG-11 frame and a highway bridge, which is proved to be computationally efficient and accurate for calculation of the eigensensitivity. The influence of the master modes and the division formations are also discussed.

This paper presents a sensitivity-based finite element (FE)-model update procedure for prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridge model using vibration test results. Firstly, the stiffness parameters of the structure such as flexural rigidity of concrete and flexural rigidity of tendon are chosen as updating parameters. Next, the numerical frequencies of first two bending modes are calculated using a three-dimensional FE model which is established for the PSC girder. Then, the corresponding experimental frequencies which are obtained from forced vibration tests are selected. In order to perform the model update, the eigensensitivity-based method is employed. Finally, the effect of prestress-loss on the stiffness parameters is evaluated.

한 구조물을 제작 설계할 경우, 단번에 모든 설계 조건들을 다 만족시키기는 쉽지 않고 몇번의 설계 변경을 통하게 된다. 이 경우 만족스러운 기능을 위한 설계 변경 방향 설정이 필요하고 그 설계 변경량도 결정해 주어야 한다. 마찬가지로 구조물의 진동 등 동적 거동 변경을 위해서는 어느 부분의 미소 변화에 대한 동적 성능 변화량(동특성 민감도)을 쉽게 추출해 낼 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위해 본고에서는 부분 구조물들로 조합된 전체 구조물에 대하여 설계변수에 대한 동적성능의 민감도를 좀더 쉽게 계산할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 부분 구조 진동형 합성법의 계산 이점을 충분히 이용하였으며 부분 구조 동특성 민감도 합성법이라고 일컬어진다. 본고의 주 내용으로, 전체 구조물의 진동 특성치 민감도가 부분 구조물의 진동 특성치 및 변경가능 부분 구조물의 내부 진동 민감도 등으로부터 합성되어 구해질 수 있음을 나타내 보였다. 예시 구조물로서 트러스 구조물이 선정되었고 통상적인 방법과 여기서 새로이 제시된 방법에 의한 해석결과 들을 비교하였으며, 결론적으로 새로운 방법이 정확도와 계산효율 면에서 충분한 이점이 있음을 보여 주었다.

Precise and reasonable modelling is necessary and indispensable to the analysis of dynamic characteristics of mechanical structures. Also. the effective prediction of the change of modal properties due to the variation of design parameters is required especially for the application of finite element method to the structural dynamics problems. To meet those necessity and requirement, three model updating algorithms are proposed for finite element methods. Those algorithms are based on sensitivity analysis of the modal data obtained from experimental modal analysis(EMA) and analytical modal analysis(AMA). The adapted sensitivity analysis methods of the algorithms are 1)eigensensitivity(EGNS) method. 2)frequency response function sensitivity(FRFS) method. 3)sensitivity based element-by-element method (SBEEM), Singular value decomposition(SVD) is used for performing eigenanalysis and parameter estimation in the updating process. Those algorithms are applied to finite element of a plate and the updating capability of each algorithm is compared in terms of accuracy. reliability and stability of the updating process. It is shown that the model updating method using frequency response function is superior to the other methods in view of various updating capabilities.

Despite of the development in the finite element method, it is difficult to get the finite element model describing the dynamic characteristics of the complex structure exactly. Therefore a number of different methods have been developed in order to update the finite element model of a structure using vibration test data. This paper outlines the basic formulation for the frequency response function based updating method. One important advantage of this method is that the intermediate step of performing an eigensolution extraction is unnecessary. Using simulated experimental data, studies are conducted in the case of 10 DOF discrete system. The solution of noisy and incomplete experimental data is discussed. True measured frequency response function data are used for updating the finite element model of a beam and a plate. Its applicability to the joint identification is also considered.
