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 …

The difficulty of achieving controlled input has led to the development of new output-only
structural health monitoring (SHM) approaches. Without measuring the input or assuming a …

Nonlinear problems have drawn great interest and extensive attention from engineers,
physicists and mathematicians and many other scientists because most real systems are …

Swift development of technology for monitoring complex structures demands major attention
on the precision of damage detection methods. The early detection of any type of …

The damage detection problem in mechanical systems, using vibration measurements, is
commonly called Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Many tools are able to detect …

Cracks and bolt looseness are common damages in a steel structure. Under the time-history
loading, nonlinear characteristics of variable stiffness exist in cracks, and bolt looseness has …

This paper presents an efficient nonparametric time domain nonlinear system identification
method. It is shown how truncated Volterra series models can be efficiently estimated …

Dynamic loads in disaster events, such as earthquakes, often cause structural damages that
severely affect serviceability and even reduce the safety of civil structures or render them …

Nonlinearities in the dynamical behavior of mechanical systems can degrade the
performance of damage detection features based on a linearity assumption. In this article, a …

In the framework of structural health monitoring, continuous dynamic records are essential
for good judgment of structures. Overall degradation of structures can be obtained with …
