In real life applications most of the structures have nonlinearities, which restrict us applying model updating techniques available for linear structures. Well-established FRF based model updating methods would easily be extended to a nonlinear system if the FRFs of the underlying linear system (linear FRFs) could be experimentally measured. When frictional type of nonlinearity co-exists with other types of nonlinearities, it is not possible to obtain linear FRFs experimentally by using low level forcing. Pseudo Receptance Difference (PRD) method, recently developed by the authors, calculates linear FRFs of a nonlinear structure by using FRFs measured at various forcing levels, and simultaneously identifies multiple nonlinearities in the system. Then any model updating method can be used to update the linear part of the mathematical model. In this present work, the PRD method is used to predict the linear FRFs from nonlinear FRFs, and the inverse eigensensitivity method is employed to update the linear finite element (FE) model of a nonlinear structure. A real nonlinear T-beam test structure is used to validate the accuracy of the proposed method. First, the linear FRFs are calculated from nonlinear FRFs measured at different forcing levels, and simultaneously, the nonlinearities in the structure are identified. Then the FE model of the linear part of the structure is updated. Finally, the accuracy of the updated nonlinear model of the test structure is demonstrated by comparing the calculated and measured FRFs of the test structure at several different forcing levels.

Model Updating of a Nonlinear System: Gun Barrel of a Battle Tank Canbaloglu, Guvenc; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2016-01-28) Nonlinearities in a structural system make the use of model updating methods developed for linear systems difficult to apply nonlinear systems. If the FRFs of the underlying linear systems in a nonlinear system could be experimentally extracted, then the linear model updating methods could easily be applied to nonlinear systems as well. When there are complex nonlinearities in a structure together with frictional type of nonlinearity, linear FRFs cannot be accurately obtained by using low level forcing. In ...
Investigation of decoupling techniques for linear and nonlinear systems Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018) Structural coupling methods are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled systems. In this study, the reverse problem, i.e. predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular subsystem from the knowledge of the dynamics of the overall system and of all the other subsystems, is studied. This problem arises when a substructure cannot be measured separately, but only when coupled to neighboring substructures. The dynamic decoupling problem of coupled linear structures is well investigated in literature. Howev...
FRF decoupling of nonlinear systems Kalayclogiu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2018-03-01) Structural decoupling problem, i.e. predicting dynamic behavior of a particular substructure from the knowledge of the dynamics of the coupled structure and the other substructure, has been well investigated for three decades and led to several decoupling methods. In spite of the inherent nonlinearities in a structural system in various forms such as clearances, friction and nonlinear stiffness, all decoupling studies are for linear systems. In this study, decoupling problem for nonlinear systems is address...
Nonlinear Structural Coupling: Experimental Application Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-02-06) In this work, the nonlinear structural modification/coupling technique proposed recently by the authors is applied to a test system in order to study the applicability of the method to real structures. The technique is based on calculating the frequency response functions of a modified system from those of the original system and the dynamic stiffness matrix of the nonlinear modifying part. The modification can also be in the form of coupling a nonlinear system to the original system. The test system used i...
Harmonic Response of Large Engineering Structures with Nonlinear Modifications Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2011-07-06) In a structural design, the structure may need to be modified and for each modification its dynamic characteristics may need to be determined by reanalyzing the structure dynamically. Since computational time and cost are very critical in design processes, structural modification methods become decisive, particularly for large systems, in predicting the dynamic behavior of modified structures from those of the original and modifying structures. Due to nonlinearity in most engineering structures, linearity a...
