Model Correlation and Damage Location for Large Space Truss Structures

AbstractOn-orbit testing of a large space structure, like Space Station Freedom, will be required tocomplete the certification of any mathematical model for the structure dynamic response. Prior toassembly in orbit, model verification will occur only at the substructure level or with scale modeltechnology. Ground tests of the complete structure are not possible.The process of establishing a mathematical model that matches measured structure responseis referred to as "model correlation." Most model correlation approaches have, as their essence,an identification technique to determine structural characteristics from measurements of thestructure response.The current research program, under Grant NAG-1-960, approached this problem with oneparticular class of identification techniques - matrix adjustment methods - which use measureddata to produce an optimal update of the structure property matrix, often the stiffness matrix.Previous research had led to new methods for identification to handle problems of the size andcomplexity expected for large space structures. Further development and refinement of these"secant-method" identification algorithms was undertaken. Also, evaluation of these techniquesin an approach for model correlation and damage location was initiated.Efforts for development and evaluation of secant methods for structure identification haveproduced understanding in a broad area now te_ed optimal-update identification or optimalmatrix adjustment. This is the major result of this grant effort. Constrained optimizationformulations for updating the property matrices of a model of a structure using measured dynamicresponse data have been developed and examined. In additon, these techniques are applicable toother problems in which multiple constraints can be specified for a matrix updating problem, forexample, control gain calculations.Evaluation of these techniques for the problem of damage detection is still in progress,however. Improved understanding resulted from the development efforts and evaluation studiesunder this grant but additional efforts were def'med as a result. In particular, attention to theproblem of sensor placement, among others, is needed to produce the best mode shapeinformation for the identification process.As a result of this research effort, ten publications have, or will, appear. In the summarysection, these publications are listed. Abstracts are reproduced where they are available.
