Accuracy and Robustness Analysis of Geometric Finite Element Model Updating Approach for Material Parameters Identification in Transient Dynamic.

We study the accuracy and the robustness of the Geometrical Finite Element Model Updating method proposed in Touzeau et al. [Touzeau, C., Magnain, B., Emile, B., Laurent, H. and Florentin, E. (2016) "Identification in transient dynamic using a geometry-based cost function in finite element model updating method," Finite Elements Anal. Des.122, 49–60]. In this work, the method is applied to transient dynamic in finite transformations to identify mechanical material parameters. A stochastic approach is performed to determine accuracy and robustness. The method is illustrated on numerical test cases and compared to a classical FEMU method. Uncertainties on the loading are taken into account in the identification using an original approach.
