Dynamic FEM analysis is valid for designing rotating machinery to reduce its vibration problem when we may ensure enough accuracy of the analysis. Surrogate multiple objective optimization method is one of the most effective methods for structural identification improving the FEM analysis model of a structure to adjust the natural frequency analysis results to the experimental results. In this study the structural identification method is applied to stator end-windings of a turbine generator to determine the Young's modulus of the principal components on the FE model minimizing the analysis errors of the natural frequencies of the 2-lobe and 4-lobe circular modes to the corresponding experimental results. The accurate FE model of the end-windings is obtained by this method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
