A Copula-Based and Monte Carlo Sampling Approach for Structural Dynamics Model Updating with Interval Uncertainty

As the uncertainty is widely existent in the engineering structure, it is necessary to study the finite element (FE) modeling and updating in consideration of the uncertainty. A FE model updating approach in structural dynamics with interval uncertain parameters is proposed in this work. Firstly, th...
