The paper is devoted to a review of recent achievements in the field of dynamic analysis of
structures and structural elements, such as beams and plates, with embedded viscoelastic …

Robustness is the most comprehensive and acceptable index that describes the ability of
structures to withstand progressive collapse induced by accidental extreme events such as …

A general framework for fractional signal processing is described and used to derive several
interesting formulations. This scheme is based on the Liouville approach that gave rise to …

Column removal failure is a common failure type of reinforced concrete (RC) structures
subjected to progressive collapse. Thus, it is widely adopted to use the experimental …

The prestressed concrete containment vessel (PCCV) is the final barrier to prevent
radioactive material leakage from a nuclear power plant to the outside. Therefore, the …

This paper presents a new parameter estimation approach for fractional chaotic systems
based on stepwise integration and response sensitivity analysis. This paper mainly consists …

An important aspect of a seismic performance assessment framework is to adequately
consider the stochastic nature of SGMs. This requires an appropriate method for …

It is important to study the seismic reliability of concrete structures based on real measured
data of the material properties. The data of material properties collected in practice is usually …

Polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) is widely used to build a surrogate meta-model of the
performance function for structural reliability analysis. The number of terms to be determined …

In this paper, stochastic dynamic response analysis and reliability assessment of nonlinear
structures under fully non-stationary ground motions is investigated based on the probability …
