Resolution and uncertainty analysis of Bayesian FE model updating applied to the damage assessment in a reinforced concrete beam KU Leuven
In a structural mechanics context, finite element (FE) model updating is often applied to quantify and locate damage in a structure. The aim of FE model updating is to calibrate parameters of a FE model in order to allow for a better correspondence between FE model output and experimental observations of structural behavior. In many cases, the experimental observations consist of modal characteristics of the structure extracted from vibration ...
