Abstract: AbstractThis paper proposes a new algorithmic adaptive tracking rule to advance the applicability of the particle filter (PF) algorithm for dynamic system identification of shear building structures undergoing abrupt ...

Abstract: For leak-before-break (LBB) assessment, an idealized through-wall crack (TWC) is typically postulated to determine the critical crack length of cracked piping. However, such an idealization in terms of crack shape can lead ...
