Mechanical Engineering: Fully Funded PhD Studentship: Stochastic Model Updating in Nonlinear Structural Dynamics Closing date 1st May 2017 Key Information Swansea Unfversay fs a UK top 30unstRutfon fa research excellence (Research Excellence Framework 20141 and has been named Kelsh Unfversfty of the Year 2017 by The Times and Sunday Times Good rsnrsersray Gude Applrsatfons are now mrsted for a fullk funded NIB studentship in Mechanical Engmeenng Nonlmear Dynamics and UncenaKtY
Knite element model updating rs a cornerstone of model validation and verffication Rs purpose berg to adrsst an analytical model such that as outputs m a range of mterest agree vAth data MN. typically from a AKAN test Determukstrs model updatmg rs now a mature technology .mdely applied to !age scale Nustrol structures In the last 10 years  number of model updatmg methods have been develop. to take account of modelling and test.. Varanasi In these methods much emphases has been Macedon ,mat has become known as stochastic model updating

The proposed proctor alms to employ efficient numerical methods to develop methods for the nonlinear model updating Arsch mil take account of both countenance and nonpayment in the structure Since the nonlinear parameters are dependent upon the level of mortar force the stochastic nonlinear model update requires being carved out on a number A different excitation levels The starstruck nonlinear mode, ,s Nam upon nonlinear analysis methods The projeCt focus on the application to constructional . enables study of tersmt vanarslay and s effect on the Frequency Response Functions (FRFsy of brshly nonlinear Krst mNces
