Application of artificial boundary conditions in sensitivity-based updating of finite element models

In structural dynamics the ability of a finite element model, or (FEM), to accurately represent a structure's dynamic response (natural frequencies and mode shapes) determines its utility as a solution tool. Oftern the model needs to be updated or improved to better represent the structure it...
