Abstract: The use of neural networks for structural system identification is receiving an increasing amount of attention through the research focused on structural control and intelligent systems. These ...

Abstract: This paper represents the first part of a two-part study devoted to the theory and application of

Abstract: This paper presents a theoretical model that has been developed to represent and include architectural walls in structural analyses. The model has been incorporated into a nonlinear, dynamic, finite-element analysis program. ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of vertically excited rigid foundations on an elasto‐viscoplastic half‐space is investigated in the context of nonlinear finite element (FE) analysis. A deviatoric viscoplastic theory with a linear ...

Abstract: The goal of this research is to evaluate different structural control methods in enhancing the overall structural performance under seismic excitations. This study focuses on steel moment resisting frames and several types ...

Abstract: There are several key issues to be considered in the design of active control systems for civil structures, including robustness to pertubations of the structural parameters stability in the presence of nonlinear actuator ...

Abstract: This research applies the robust

Abstract: Two‐ and three‐dimensional finite element (FE) analyses are performed to investigate the influence of nonlinear soil behavior on the dynamic response of harmonically excited rigid foundations. Lateral, rocking, and torsional ...
