Abstract

This work introduces dynamic model updating technique using pseudo modal energies and genetic algorithm. Pseudo modal energies are defined as the integrals of the frequency response function over certain frequency bandwidths that bind the natural frequencies. Three different crossover techniques are used to implement genetic algorithm and this are simple, arithmetic and heuristic crossovers. The proposed techniques are successfully used to update a finite element model of a freely suspended beam. The experimental results show that the updated models give improved predictions of the measured modal properties including those that were not included in the updating process. The results suggest that the simple and arithmetic crossovers are better suited for an updating problem than heuristic crossover.
