Optimal solution selection for sensitivity-based finite element model updating and structural damage detection

The finite element model has become the standard way in which complex structural systems are modeled, analyzed, and the effects of loading simulated. A new method is developed for comparing the finite element simulation to experimental data, so the model can be validated, which is a critical step be...
