Abstract: Real-time pseudodynamic (PSD) and hybrid PSD methods are a means to evaluate structural performance under dynamic loading when a component of a structural system cannot be accurately modeled and is load rate dependent. The ...

Abstract: A new concept for a deployable autonomous control system (DACS) was recently developed by the authors to achieve short-term vibration mitigation in lightweight structures. With the details of the deployability and autonomy ...

Abstract: Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is increasingly recognized for its potential to enhance the performance of structural engineering systems. Despite its potential, traditional RBDO methods are often hampered by ...
