Linking Models and Experiments, Volume 2

- It was shown that the Mahalanobis distance comparison method was useful for the statistical m validation based on multivariate feature vectors. - Correlation of uncertain parameters in the numerical model greatly influences the success of Mahalanobis distance comparison. This issue should be considered both in the construction of a numerical model and in the response feature selection. The first and third issues should be advanced in the future works. They will become important considerations to realize more generalized structural dynamics model validation strategy and accurate uncertainty quantifications.
