5. Modeling A#
5.1. Characteristics of modeling#
The « support » model and the modification were modeled by POU_D_E elements. The projection base chosen for the expansion of the measured information corresponds to the static deformations obtained by applying a load at each measurement point in the sensitive direction of the sensor. The « measurement » model was built on the basis of the first five identified modes of the initial structure.
5.2. Characteristics of the mesh#
« Support » model:
Number and type of mesh: 9 elements of type SEG2.
« Modification » template:
Number and type of mesh: 2 elements of type SEG2.
5.3. Tested features#
The structural modification procedure takes place in several steps. We test the smooth running of this procedure and the following functionalities:
LIRE_RESU, PROJ_MESU_MODAL, MACR_ELEM_STAT, ASSE_MAILLAGE, DEPL_INTERNE.
5.4. Tested sizes and results#
The values of the first two natural frequencies of the modified structure are checked.
We also check the sum of the terms of the MAC matrix (Modal Assurance Criterion) obtained between the deformations at the interfaces for the coupled model and the deformations at the interfaces by static expansion of the deformations of the coupled model obtained at the points of measurement. This indicator indicates the relevance of the reconstruction of the field at the interfaces.
