Artificial boundary conditions in sensitivity based finite element model updating and structural damage detection

A finite element (FE) model is a computational representation of a given structure. In order for the FE model to accurately predict structure response, the model is "updated" or improved. This thesis investigates the use of artificial boundary conditions in sensitivity-based model updati...
