Abstract: The problem of identification of the modal parameters of a structural model using complete input and incomplete response time histories is addressed. It is assumed that there exist both input error (due to input measurement ...

Abstract: This note compares in detail four commonly used schemes for the simulation of spatially variable ground motions. Emphasis is placed not only on the conformity of the simulations with the power and cross spectral density ...

Abstract: A probabilistic approach for model updating and damage detection of structural systems is presented using noisy incomplete input and incomplete response measurements. The situation of incomplete ...

Abstract: A methodology is presented for designing cost-effective optimal sensor configurations for structural model updating and health monitoring purposes. The optimal sensor configuration is selected such ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new Bayesian approach for estimating input and state in linear structures using response-only measurements. The proposed approach benefits from a modally reduced state-space model, which circumvents ...
