Parameter Identification of Composite Materials Based on Spectral Model by Using Model Updating Method

الملخص EN

A model updating approach based on a spectral element model and solved with a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is proposed to identify the vibration-damping properties of composite materials.

In comparison with conventional finite element model updating, a composite beam is modeled in a unified way by using a spectral approach whose computational cost is significantly reduced due to its simplicity.

In this way, the dynamic response can be captured accurately by using a very limited number of elements.

To identify the material properties, experimental tests are carried out to get the initial parameters that are introduced to initialize the spectral model; then, a model updating process solved with a PSO algorithm is implemented to obtain the real material parameters.

It has been demonstrated that the proposed spectral model is a potential tool for model updating and parameter identification.
