Professional Experience

Dr. Partha Sengupta conducts research in Structural Health Monitoring, focusing on model updating within a Bayesian framework using an enhanced model reduction technique with incomplete modal and time history response data. His work involves developing an iterative model reduction technique in the frequency domain by eliminating stiffness terms from the transformation equation, effectively mapping the full model and predicting its dynamic responses. The modified equation depends on measured modal responses and invariant mass matrices, eliminating the need for repeated evaluations of stiffness terms typically required in structural health monitoring (SHM) updating algorithms. Furthermore, this model reduction approach is integrated with a sub-structuring scheme, making it applicable to large finite element models. Additionally, Dr. Sengupta has developed an improved Bayesian model updating technique within the Transitional Markov Chain Monte Carlo (TMCMC) framework in the frequency domain, incorporating modifications to enhance the TMCMC algorithm.
