GPS multipath, where a signal arrives by more than one path, is a source of positioning error
which cannot be easily neutralized. Better understanding of the multipath environment, ie …

Nonlinear dynamic behaviors of civil engineering structures have been observed not only
under extreme loads but also during normal operations. Characterization of the time-varying …

Fragility curves present useful information related to earthquake-induced probability
assessment of steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs) and determine the probability of the …

This paper aims to propose complex Morlet (cmorf bf c) wavelet-based refined damage-
sensitive feature (rDSF) as a new and more precise damage indicator to diagnose seismic …

The time-domain representation of non-stationary stochastic processes is of paramount
importance, in particular for response analysis and reliability evaluation of nonlinear …

Multipath, wherein a signal arrives at the receiving antenna by more than one path, is a
significant and largely unmodeled source of GPS positioning error. We present a technique …

This paper proposes a new damage index for the crack identification of beams made of
functionally graded materials (FGMs) by using the wavelet analysis. The damage index is …

The dynamic behavior of inelastic structures during an earthquake is a complicated non-
stationary process that is affected by the random characteristics of seismic ground motions …

In the conventional performance‐based earthquake engineering framework, fragility curves
are mapped to a function of story drift ratio or spectral acceleration corresponding to the first …

Structural strain responses, generally induced by traffic, wind, temperature, and so forth, can
be used to evaluate the safety and serviceability of in-service bridges. According to one-year …
