Hysteresis is a natural phenomenon that widely exists in structural and mechanical systems.
The characteristics of structural hysteretic behaviors are complicated. Therefore, numerous …

Nonlinear system identification is a vast research field, today attracting a great deal of
attention in the structural dynamics community. Ten years ago, an MSSP paper reviewing …

In structural engineering, model updating is often used for non-destructive damage
assessment: by calibrating stiffness parameters of finite element models based on …

During the past decades, significant efforts have been dedicated to develop reliable
methods in structural health monitoring. The health assessment for the target structure of …

Probability logic with Bayesian updating provides a rigorous framework to quantify modeling
uncertainty and perform system identification. It uses probability as a multi‐valued …

A new probabilistic finite element (FE) model updating technique based on Hierarchical
Bayesian modeling is proposed for identification of civil structural systems under changing …

Bayesian inference provides a powerful approach to system identification and damage
assessment for structures. The application of Bayesian method is motivated by the fact that …

The estimation of finite fault earthquake source models is an inherently underdetermined
problem: there is no unique solution to the inverse problem of determining the rupture …

As the finite element (FE) model has become increasingly important in engineering, the
model updating method has also received much attention as a means of improving the …

This study addresses some of the pitfalls of conventional numerical modeling of Rayleigh-
type dam** in inelastic structures. A practical modeling approach to solve these problems …
