One-Step FE Model Updating Using Local Correspondence and Mode Shape Orthogonality

Figure 2

FE model of the T structure. To illustrate element size, every fifth node is marked with a red dot. The model contains 127 nodes and 1 boundary node, 126 beam elements, and one spring element. The spring has 3 rotational and 3 translational DOFs and connects the T structure to the base at the origin: .
