This paper is a review on distributed optic fiber sensing for structural health monitoring
applications, with a deeper focus on technologies relying on the Rayleigh backscattering …

The problem of joint estimation of the state and input in linear time-invariant dynamical
systems is revisited proposing novel sequential Bayesian formulations. An appealing feature …

We propose a novel approach to structural health monitoring (SHM), aiming at the automatic
identification of damage-sensitive features from data acquired through pervasive sensor …

A new strategy for the efficient solution of highly nonlinear structural problems is proposed,
based on the combined use of Domain Decomposition (DD) and snapshots version of the …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) allows the acquisition of information on the structural
integrity of any mechanical system by processing data, measured through a set of sensors …

Vibrating particles system (VPS) optimization is a recently developed metaheuristic
algorithm for optimization. This algorithm is inspired by the free vibration of freedom systems' …

In this paper, a framework is presented for the joint state tracking and parameter estimation
of partially observed structural systems characterized by a relatively large number of …

Railway bridges are subjected to intermittent excitations induced by gravity loads. The
monitoring of stress time histories at fatigue prone areas (ie,“hot spots”) for steel, heavy haul …

The motivation of this work is to propose a general methodology to deal with complex
nonlinear mechanical behaviors in the context of identification and model updating …

Microscale uncertainties related to the geometry and morphology of polycrystalline silicon
films, constituting the movable structures of micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), were …
