Abstract Response surface method and Derringer’s function approach have been combined together to develop novel structural dynamic model updating technique for a damped mechanical system. Response surface models have been incorporated instead of finite element models, in order to increase computational efficiency of proposed technique. Derringer’s function approach is useful in dealing successfully with multi-objective optimization type model updating problems. Few such undamped techniques have been recently developed for undamped mechanical systems by combining the benefits of response models with Derringer’s function approach. This paper presents the theory and numerical application of a damped updating technique, which is based upon response models and Derringer’s function approach. In this technique, updating process is formulated as an optimization problem, wherein desirability functions are formulated, based on natural frequencies, modal-assurance-criterion values, resonance and anti-resonance points of frequency response functions. Desirability functions are then optimized to evaluate updated elastic parameters in stage one and updated damping constants in stage two of proposed technique. By using this technique, total absolute errors in natural frequencies, modal-assurance-criterion values, elastic parameters and frequency response functions have been reduced to 0.02%, 0.00%, 3.69% and 0.11%, respectively.
