Abstract: Terrorist attacks are a growing threat worldwide. Explosive devices, the weapon of choice for a majority of these attacks, significantly threaten civilian and military personnel. Seismic ground motions are also associated ...

Abstract: Damping plays an important role in structural dynamics by absorbing energy and reducing structural responses. The inherent damping in a building ranges from approximately 2 to 10% critical damping in the first mode; even ...

Abstract: Accurate prediction/forecasting of the future response of civil infrastructure plays an essential role in health monitoring and safety assessment. However, the complex latent dynamics within the field sensing measurements ...

Abstract: Machine learning–based methods, especially deep learning methods, have achieved great success in seismic response modeling due to their exceptional performance in capturing nonlinear features. However, imbalanced features ...

Abstract: Clustering analysis of sequential data is of great interest and importance in many science and engineering areas thanks to the explosive growth of time-series data. Effective methods, especially for sequence clustering, ...
