Abstract
This paper presents an application of Artificial Neural
Networks (ANN) for updating of a mathematical model of
a structure. Neural networks, which predict the value of
stiffnesses on the basis of Frequency Response Function (FRF)
have been built. Wide variety of network architectures and
different input definitions have been tested. In order to
reduce the dimension of input vector necessary for the model
updating the FRF is either compressed even to one tenth
of initial number of values by a dedicated neural network
called Characteristic Replicator or geometrical characteristics
of selected FRF bands are calculated and used as input data.
The sensitivity of this method in predicting of selected model
parameters has been checked.
