A Paradigm Shift to Assembly-like Finite Element Model Updating
Gabriele Dessena, Alessandro Pontillo, Dmitry I. Ignatyev +2
In general, there is a mismatch between a finite element model {(FEM)} of a structure and its real behaviour. In aeronautics, this mismatch must be small because {FEM}s are a funda…

Modal Parameter Extraction via Propeller-Driven Vibration Testing
Gabriele Dessena, Alessandro Pontillo
Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) supports aircraft certification but often requires lengthy and costly campaigns. Propeller-driven Vibration Testing (PVT) is assessed here as an outp…

Damping Identification Sensitivity in Flutter Speed Estimation
Gabriele Dessena, Alessandro Pontillo, Marco Civera +3
Predicting flutter remains a key challenge in aeroelastic research, with certain models relying on modal parameters, such as natural frequencies and damping ratios. These models ar…
