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 …

Modal testing and analysis is well-established for linear systems. The objective of this paper
is to progress toward a practical experimental modal analysis (EMA) methodology of …

Although the identification and analysis of structures with a localized nonlinearity, either
weak or strong, is within reach, identification of multiple nonlinearities coexisting at different …

Realizing that nonlinearity is a frequent occurrence in engineering structures and that linear
experimental modal analysis (EMA) is of limited usefulness in this context, the present paper …

Nonlinear system identification is a challenging task in view of the complexity and wide
variety of nonlinear phenomena. The present paper addresses the identification of a real-life …

The objective of the present paper is to develop a two-step methodology integrating system
identification and numerical continuation for the experimental extraction of nonlinear normal …

This study presents experiments and numerical simulations of a beam with non-ideal
boundary conditions and subjected to two broadband correlated or uncorrelated random …

This paper is a survey of the literature about the nonlinear updating process. It is focused on
the computation of the difference between the numerical model and the reference data as …

This paper presents a method for the dynamic identification of structures containing discrete
nonlinear stiffnesses. The approach requires the structure to be excited at a single resonant …

This paper introduces a method for the identification of the parameters of nonlinear
structures using a probabilistic Bayesian framework, employing a Markov chain Monte Carlo …
