Abstract

Most of exiting model updating methods based on the substructure matrices did not consider the effect of model reduction process on model updating which led to the updating results could not become more and more accurate with the improvement of the model reduction precision and the convergence rate was greatly reduced. In order to solve this problem, this paper analyses the basic reason about this problem, and proposes an improved model updating method of reduced-models, named as improved reduced cross-model cross-mode (IRCMCM) method. The proposed method eliminates the disadvantageous effect by adding a correction term to the model updating formula and employing an iterative process. The results obtained by the referenced method and IRCMCM method are compared by numerical examples of satellite’s plates, which indicate the model updating results are more accurate by using the proposed method, and the model updating precision becomes better with the precision of the model reduction upgraded and the convergence rate is improved to a large extent at the same time.
