  • Multiresponse Parameter Estimation for Finite-Element Model Updating Using Nondestructive Test Data

    by Erin Santini Bell, Masoud Sanayei, Chitra N. Javdekar, Eugene Slavsky

    Structural health monitoring using field measurements has developed into a major research area, responding to an increasing demand for evaluating the integrity of civil engineering structures. Model updating through parameter estimation is a key tool in a successful structural health monitoring program. A method for parameter estimation is developed for simultaneous use of static and modal nondestructive test data called the “multiresponse” parameter estimation. An error function normalization technique is also developed to facilitate effective multiresponse parameter estimation. This normalization technique can mitigate some of the numerical issues encountered during the parameter estimation procedure. However, this technique does not degrade the integrity of the parameter estimation procedure. Multiresponse parameter estimation provides an increased level of flexibility and feasibility of model updating for structural health monitoring. This paper presents full integration of static and modal nondestruc...


  • Damage Localization and Finite-Element Model Updating Using Multiresponse NDT Data

    by Masoud Sanayei, Erin Santini Bell, Chitra N. Javdekar, Jennifer L. Edelmann, Eugene Slavsky

    New techniques for both finite-element model updating and damage localization are presented using multiresponse nondestructive test (NDT) data. A new protocol for combining multiple parameter estimation algorithms for model updating is presented along with an illustrative example. This approach allows for the simultaneous use of both static and modal NDT data to perform model updating at the element level. A new damage index based on multiresponse NDT data is presented for damage localization of structures. This index is based on static and modal strain energy changes in a structure as a result of damage. This method depicts changes in physical properties of each structural element compared to its initial state using NDT data. Deficient or potentially damaged structural elements are then selected as the unknown parameters to be updated by parameter estimation. Error function normalization, error function stacking, and multiresponse parameter estimation methods are proposed for using multiple data types fo...
