Abstract: In the field of structural engineering, various analytical procedures have been developed for the analysis of nonlinear structural systems subjected to random dynamic loading. To date, the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) seems ...

Abstract: In Bayesian model updating, parameter identification of structural systems using modal data can be based on the formulation of the likelihood function as a product of two probability density functions, one relating to modal ...

Abstract: A method to carry out reliability-based optimization of uncertain structural systems under stochastic excitation is presented in this paper. The approach is based on a nonlinear interior point algorithm and a line search ...
