Till now, various models have been proposed in literature to simulate the behavior of riveted structures. In order to find the most accurate analytical method in modeling the dynamic behavior of riveted structures, a comparison study is performed on several of these models, in this research. For this purpose, experimental modal analysis tests are conducted on a riveted plate to verify the efficacy of the analytical models. Moreover, finite element model updating is used to reduce the difference between analytical and experimental results. First, the material properties of plates are optimized using the experimental results obtained from modal tests of a simple plate. Next, the optimization is performed for the physical properties of rivet. At the end, it is concluded that the fastener model proposed by Rutman can bring about the most accurate results when it is used in combination with solid plates and gap elements in the contact region.

In this paper, nonlinear vibration analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) beam with porosities material is investigated based on the Timoshenko beam theory. Material properties of FG porous beam are described according to the rule of mixture which modified to approximate material properties with porosity phases. The Ritz method is used to obtain the governing equation which is then solved by a direct iterative method to determine the nonlinear vibration frequencies of FGP porous beam subjected to different boundary conditions. The effects of external electric voltage, material distribution profile, porosity volume fraction, slenderness ratios and boundary conditions on the nonlinear vibration characteristics of the FGP porous beam are discussed in detail. The results indicate that piezoelectric layers have significant effect on the nonlinear frequencies. Also it is found that the porosity has a considerable influence on the nonlinear frequency and these effects increased especially when the electric voltage is applied.
