OUTLINE • Forced Vibration Tests • Modal Identification • Finite Element Model Updating • Conclusions & Outlook
BACKGROUND • Goals of forced vibration tests/studies • Extract dynamic properties of the structure experimentally • Validate the assumptions of analyticalmodel used to predict structural response • Evaluate predictive capability of analyticalmodels • Until now, forced vibration tests have been performed at low-level response amplitudes • Two kinds of shakers were used as vibration sources • Eccentric mass shaker • Linear shaker
BACKGROUND • Eccentric Mass Shaker • Generate harmonic forces through rotation of mass • Steady state response -> frequency-response curve • Generally, larger maximum load capacity • Laborious tests; one frequency at a time • Linear Shaker • Arbitrary forcing function (Broadband excitation) • Transient response : reduce test time / more computation • Effective in System Identification • Simulation of earthquake vibration
OBJECTIVE &OVERVIEW • Produce a high-quality dataset - Low noise 155 dB accelerometer, 24-bit AD converter - High spatial density Acceleration + Story Displacement + Strain - Low / high amplitude excitation ~max 200 kip force Test Building : 4-story RC frame building • Damage survey • nees@UCLA equipment • Instrumentation scheme • Test procedure

DISCUSSION • Ambient vibration > linear shaker test > EMS test => Stiffness degradation of structural member (contribution of nonstructural elements is negligible ; damage survey) • 3 ~ 4% frequency drop in ambient vibration after EMS test due to the high amplitude vibrations during Half-full basket testing => degradation of (cladding / Foundation & soil / structural member) ?? • Larger frequency drop in N-S direction => effect of damage

CONCLUSIONS • Identified modal properties of the first seven modes using N4SID • Frequencies identified from ambient vibrations represent a stiffer structure than that identified from white noise excitation • FE model is updated using a modal- FRF-sensitivity based method • Frequencies, mode shapes, and FRF of the updated model compare well with those identified • Predicted acceleration response of the updated model compares quite well with the measured data
