The scientific community is hardly working to propose reliable methodologies of analysis
and non-invasive technologies of investigation to assess the current state of conservation of …

The recent developments of micro-electro-mechanical systems and wireless sensor
networks allow today the use of low-cost and small-size sensors for continuous monitoring of …

Finite element model updating of a structure made of linear elastic materials is based on the
solution of a minimization problem. The goal is to find some unknown parameters of the …

The paper presents the results of an ambient vibration monitoring campaign conducted on
the so-called “Clock Tower”(Torre delle Ore), one of the best known and most visited …

Real structures mode shapes estimated by modal analysis techniques have a common
feature: in most cases they are complex, and their level of complexity can be soundly …

This article studies finite element model updating of a composite flying-wing aircraft by using
experimental results for both the aircraft and its components obtained in different …

This paper aims to explore the dynamic behavior of a segmental masonry arch subjected to
increasing horizontal displacements of one support. To this end, output-only dynamic …

Operational modal analysis (OMA), also known as output-only or ambient vibration test
(AVT), has become in last decades a powerful approach for a wide range of applications in …

The fundamental frequency plays a primary role in the dynamic assessment of Cultural
Heritage towers. Local and global features may impact its value: geometric, material …

Masonry vaults are widely employed in ancient constructions and play a crucial role in their
static and dynamic behaviour. In the last decades, the scientific community has carried out …
