Abstract: A probabilistic approach for failure analysis is presented in this paper, which investigates the probable scenarios that occur in case of failure of engineering systems with uncertainties. Failure analysis can be carried ...

Abstract: Operational modal analysis allows one to identify the modal properties (natural frequencies, damping ratios, mode shapes, etc.) of a constructed structure based on output vibration measurements only. For its high economy ...

Abstract: A method is presented for efficiently computing small failure probabilities encountered in seismic risk problems involving dynamic analysis. It is based on a procedure recently developed by the writers called Subset ...

Abstract: In full-scale ambient vibration tests, many situations exist where it is required to obtain a detailed mode shape of a structure with a limited number of sensors. A common feasible strategy is to perform multiple setups ...

Abstract: A Bayesian probabilistic methodology for structural health monitoring is presented. The method uses a sequence of identified modal parameter data sets to compute the probability that continually updated model stiffness ...

Abstract: Underground mine caving may induce collapse of the ground during ore caving, particularly when there is a loose material on top of the mine. In the present paper, a laboratory test is performed to model this mining problem ...
