Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems have been developed to evaluate structural
responses to extreme events such as natural and man-made hazards. Additionally, the …

Presents the first ever guide for vehicle scanning of the dynamic properties of bridges
Written by the leading author on the subject of vehicle scanning method (VSM) for bridges …

The assessment and monitoring of structures through in situ tests, especially dynamic tests,
is becoming a common procedure due to the evolution of the instruments and numerical …

In this paper, a novel approach to model updating for a large-scale railway bridge using
orthogonal diagonalization (OD) coupled with an improved particle swarm optimization …

By letting a test vehicle move over a bridge, the frequencies of the bridge can be identified
by picking the peaks in the Fourier response spectra of the test vehicle. One problem with …

Microstructured materials, namely metamaterials, are one of the most relevant topics of the
recent period due to their interdisciplinary nature. Driven by their wide range of applications …

This study applied the kriging model and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for the
dynamic model updating of bridge structures using the higher vibration modes under large …

In operational modal analysis, the modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios
and mode shapes), obtained with stochastic subspace identification from ambient vibration …

Abstract Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have been used in various monitoring
applications for the past two decades, as one of the very few options to provide absolute …

This paper presents an efficient yet practical approach for the automatic modal identification
of structures based on their free vibration response. The proposed approach relies on the …
