Nonlinear system identification is a vast research field, today attracting a great deal of
attention in the structural dynamics community. Ten years ago, an MSSP paper reviewing …

The difficulty of achieving controlled input has led to the development of new output-only
structural health monitoring (SHM) approaches. Without measuring the input or assuming a …

Nonlinear problems have drawn great interest and extensive attention from engineers,
physicists and mathematicians and many other scientists because most real systems are …

The interactions between ultrasonic waves and damage provide crucial information for
developing effective damage detection techniques in various fields, including non …

The damage detection problem in mechanical systems, using vibration measurements, is
commonly called Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Many tools are able to detect …

This paper presents an efficient nonparametric time domain nonlinear system identification
method. It is shown how truncated Volterra series models can be efficiently estimated …

Nonlinearities in the dynamical behavior of mechanical systems can degrade the
performance of damage detection features based on a linearity assumption. In this article, a …

In structural health monitoring (SHM), most current methods and techniques are based on
the assumption of linear models and linear damage. However, the damage in real …

This paper proposes a short-time temporal coherence (STC)-based approach for linear and
nonlinear structural damage identification. Two novel damage indices (damage detection …

In the framework of structural health monitoring, continuous dynamic records are essential
for good judgment of structures. Overall degradation of structures can be obtained with …
