A Modified Inverse Eigensensitivity Method for Large Finite Element Models

2016-01-28
Finite element models should represent the dynamic behavior of real structures accurately to be subsequently used in design purposes. Therefore, finite element model updating methods have been developed in order to decrease the difference between analytical model and modal test results. In this paper, inverse eigensensitivity method as a sensitivity-based model updating method is summarized. Inverse eigensensitivity method with improved sensitivity computation which decreases the total calculation time of the updating procedure is introduced. A method based on the parameter sensitivities is integrated into the developed code in order to decrease the number of model updating parameters making it is possible to update large finite element models. Initially a simple plate structure is considered as an application. An aerospace structure is considered as an example where modal test is performed and modal parameters are extracted. The developed updating method is applied on the finite element model of the aerospace structure and the results of the updated model are compared with experimental ones.

A normalized set of force and permeance data for doubly-salient magnetic geometries
Mahariq, İbrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this study, a model is developed to represent doubly-salient magnetic circuits and to fit finite element analysis for the aim of obtaining a set of normalized normal force, tangential force, and permeance variation data. To obtain the desired data FE field solution method is used. The reliability of finite element results have been verified by three steps; first, comparing the numerical results with analytically calculated permeance, second, by solving two switch reluctance motors and comparing the resul...
A generalized construction for perfect autocorrelation sequences
boztaş, serdar; kahraman, seda; Özbudak, Ferruh; TEKİN, EDA (2015-06-19)
In this paper we generalize a previous construction in order to design perfect autocorrelation sequences over the so-called PSK+ constellation defined by Boztas, and Udaya [2]. We give a number theoretic criterion for the existence of the new sequences with perfect autocorrelation, and discuss some preliminary numerical results on their aperiodic correlations and merit factors.
A modified applied element model for the simulation of plain concrete behaviour
Soysal, Berat Feyza; Arıcı, Yalın; Tuncay, Kağan (2022-08-01)
A modified applied element model to simulate the behaviour of plain concrete continuum structures including discrete cracking is proposed in this study. In the classical applied element model, Poisson effects are fully ignored. To remediate this issue, diagonal elements are introduced to include the Poisson effect, and the constitutive parameters are rigorously determined using the Cauchy-Born rule and the hyper-elastic theory. The formulation is validated for linear elastic problems and the consistency and...
A Comparative Study on Isolator Modeling Approaches
Çabuk, Eser; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Sütcü, Fatih; Nobuo, Murota (2023-01-01)
Due to the complexity in the development of highly nonlinear models, engineers tend to use more practical ones such as smoothed or sharp bilinear models. It has been shown that differences in hysteresis characteristics may lead to variance in performance parameters, resulting in possible overdesign or underdesign. In this study, to assess the effect of the modelling approach on seismic performance, high damping rubber bearing was designed and evaluated in terms of structural performance for a selected hospi...
A Navier-Stokes Solver for Compressible Turbulent Flows on Quadtree and Octree Based Cartesian Grids
Kara, E.; Kutlar, A. İ.; Aksel, M. H.; null, null (Academic World Research, 2019-3-1)
Cartesian grids represent a special extent in unstructured grid literature. They employ chiefly created algorithms to produce automatic meshing while simulating flows around complex geometries without considering shape of the bodies. In this article, firstly, it is intended to produce regionally developed Cartesian meshes for two dimensional and three dimensional, disordered geometries to provide solutions hierarchically. Secondly, accurate results for turbulent flows are developed by finite volume solv...
