Abstract
Model correlation and model calibration using test data are natural ingredients in the process of validating computational models. Here, model calibration for the important sub-class of non-linear systems consisting of structures dominated by linear behavior having presence of local non-linear effects is studied.
The focus is on the selection of uncertain model parameters together with the forming of the objective function to be used for calibration. To give precise estimation of parameters in the presence of measurement noise, the objective function data have to be informative with respect to the parameters chosen. Also, to get useful data the excitation force is here designed to be multi-harmonic since steady-state responses at the side frequencies are shown to contain valuable information for the calibration process.
In this paper, test data from a replica of the Ecole Centrale de Lyon (ECL) nonlinear benchmark together with steady-state solutions stemming from calculations using the Multi-Harmonic Balancing method are used for illustration of the proposed model calibration procedure.
