In Search of Simulating Reality: Validation and Updating of FE Models for Structural Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
To successfully make the move to digital prototyping, and thereby reduce the number of physical prototypes, predictions of product performance should be provided with a measure of confidence and validated against experimental data. Typical applications are found in the field of modal analysis where frameworks and efficient procedures are now available for calibrating analytical models to better correspond with the results of experimental models . An overview of the methodology is provided along with some examples in material identification and FE model refinement.

Model identification and dynamic analysis of ship propulsion shaft lines
Dynamic response analysis of mechanical structures is usually performed by adopting numerical/analytical models. Finite element (FE) modeling as a numerical approach plays an important role in dynamic response analysis of complex structures. The calculated dynamic responses from FE analysis are only reliable if accurate FE models are used. There are many elements in real mechanical structures w...
