Abstract: In analyzing and assessing the condition of dynamical systems, it is necessary to account for nonlinearity. Recent advances in computation have rendered previously computationally infeasible analyses readily executable on ...

Abstract: Buildings are responsible for a third of worldwide energy demand as well as anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, a holistic approach for energy-efficient design over the life cycle of buildings is necessary. ...

Abstract: The protection of buildings under seismic events necessitates the development of efficient vibration mitigation devices. The recently proposed negative stiffness vibration (NegSV) device materializes such a seismic protection ...

Abstract: The use of Lamb waves within a guided wave (GW)–based scheme holds promise toward monitoring and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of plate structures. Their short wavelength enables interaction with small defects and they ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose a novel approach for learning structural dynamics and discover useful features using a supervised variational autoencoder (SVAE) with the aim of executing classification tasks that feed into ...

Abstract: This study presents a robot-assisted solution for the automated identification of bridge frequencies and high-spatial-resolution mode shapes using a minimal number of sensors. The proposed approach employs programmable ...

Abstract: Recent research on structural health monitoring has shown the applicability of Kalman filtering for fusion of models and data of dynamic systems. In this study, the augmented Kalman filter (AKF) is combined with a ...
