Abstract: This paper presents a statistical measure for the identification of the presence, the location, and the calibration of the strength of singularity in a signal or in any of its derivatives in ...

Abstract: This work isolates cases of nondetection, false alarm, and insensitivity for a general class of problems dealing with the detection and characterization of existence, location, and extent of singularities embedded in signals ...

Abstract: During seismic ground shaking, the motion of a soil–pile system is different from that of the free field due to seismic soil–structure interaction (SSI). Kinematic soil–pile interaction is known to cause significant filtering ...

Abstract: The static and dynamic effects of a railway bridge subjected to train loads have been investigated and analyzed to assess its condition. This paper investigates the potential of using repeated dynamic measurements taken ...
