RISModel Falsification from a Bayesian Viewpoint with Applications to Parameter Inference and Model Selection of Dynamical Systems
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work provides a Bayesian reinterpretation of model falsification. We show that model falsification can be viewed as an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) approach when hypotheses (models) are sampled from a prior. ...
Improving Substructure Identification Using Structural Control with Limited Sensor Measurements
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Substructure identification is a structural health monitoring technique that identifies a reduced-order model of structural behavior using local vibration measurements. The authors’ prior research on this inherently ...
Distributed Mass Damper System for Integrating Structural and Environmental Controls in Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The writers recently proposed a new type of mass damper system to integrate structural and environmental control systems for buildings. External shading fins are used as mass dampers such that they can (1) control building ...
Rapid Controllable Damper Design for Complex Structures with a Hybrid Reduced-Order Modeling/Simulation Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluating controllable damping designs typically requires simulation of the resulting inherently nonlinear closed-loop system because linear design strategies cannot always be reliably used. These analyses typically require ...
Natural Excitation Technique and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm for Phase I of the IASC-ASCE Benchmark Problem: Simulated Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A benchmark study in structural health monitoring based on simulated structural response data was developed by the joint IASC–ASCE Task Group on Structural Health Monitoring. This benchmark study was created to facilitate ...
Semiactive Connected Control Method for Adjacent Multidegree-of-Freedom Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The connected control method (CCM) has been shown previously to be a viable means to protect adjacent flexible structures. The CCM works by using an auxiliary structure to provide a reaction force for control. The CCM can ...
Experimental Verification of Smart Cable Damping
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Stay cables, such as are used in cable-stayed bridges, are prone to vibration due to their low inherent damping characteristics. Transversely attached passive viscous dampers have been implemented in many bridges to dampen ...
Rapid Controllable Damper Design for Complex Structures with a Hybrid Reduced-Order Modeling/Simulation Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Evaluating controllable damping designs typically requires simulation of the resulting inherently nonlinear closed-loop system because linear design strategies cannot always be reliably used. These analyses typically require ...
Modeling the Dynamic Behavior of Isolation Devices in a Hybrid Base-Isolation Layer of a Full-Scale Building
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Measured force-displacement sensing data are analyzed to create nonlinear hysteretic models for elastic sliding bearings and steel dampers. These data were collected during full-scale experimental tests of a base-isolated ...
Coupled Building Control Considering the Effects of Building/Connector Configuration
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coupled building control has been shown to be an effective means of protection for flexible building structures. Numerous researchers have proposed various active, passive, and semiactive coupled building control strategies ...
