Model reduction technique is usually employed in model updating process. Here, a new iterative method associating the model updating method with the model reduction technique is investigated. Using the traditional iterative method, the errors resulted from replacing the reduction matrix of the experimental model with that of the finite element (FE) model are not fully considered, which needs more iterations and computing time. In order to reduce the errors produced in the replacement, a new iterative method is proposed based on the traditional method, in which the correction term related to the errors is added. The comparisons between the traditional iterative method and the proposed iterative method are shown by model updating examples of solar panels and both of these two iterative methods combine the cross-model cross-mode (CMCM) method and the succession-level approximate reduction (SAR) technique. The results indicate that the convergence rate and the computing time of the new method are significantly superior to those of the traditional iterative method with or without noise.
