Automatically establishing a stable and assertive correspondence between numerical and experimental modes, in many cases, proves to be a very challenging task, especially in situations where complex mode shapes are present. This article presents a novel formulation for the automatic mode pairing between experimental and numerical complex modes based on an Energy-based Modal Assurance Criterion (EMAC). The efficiency of the proposed criterion was demonstrated on the basis of a case study involving the pairing between numerical and experimental modes of a passenger railway vehicle. A highly complex detailed FE numerical model of the vehicle was developed involving the modeling of the carbody, bogies and axles. A numerical damped modal analysis allowed obtaining the main global rigid-body and flexural modes of the vehicle\u2019s carbody, as well as several local modes associated to the vibration of specific components of the carbody. Due to the localized damping provided by the suspensions, these modes presented complex modal ordinates, especially for the rigid-body modes. The comparison between the results obtained from the application of the EMAC and the classical MAC criteria, on the pairing of five global mode shapes, proved that the EMAC criterion is much more assertive, avoiding mismatches between the experimental global modes and some of the local numerical modes with similar configurations, and, consequently, establishing the correct correspondences between experimental and numerical modes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app13010350","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,28]],"date-time":"2022-12-28T05:38:43Z","timestamp":1672205923000},"page":"350","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A Novel Strategy for Automatic Mode Pairing on the Model Updating of Railway Systems with Nonproportional Damping"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8624-9904","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diogo","family":"Ribeiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT-LESE, School of Engineering, Polytechnic of Porto, 4249-015 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2304-6127","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e1ssio","family":"Bragan\u00e7a","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Structural Engineering, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Maik","family":"Brehm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Merkle CAE Solutions GmbH, 89518 Heidenheim, Germany"}]},{"given":"Volkmar","family":"Zabel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Structural Mechanics, Bauhaus-University Weimar, 99423 Weimar, Germany"}]},{"given":"Rui","family":"Cal\u00e7ada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CONSTRUCT-LESE, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3024","DOI":"10.1080\/00423114.2021.1933091","article-title":"Calibration and Validation of a Freight Wagon Dynamic Model in Operating Conditions Based on Limited Experimental Data","volume":"60","author":"Neto","year":"2022","journal-title":"Veh.
