The system identification of concrete dams using seismic monitoring data can reveal the practical dynamic properties structures during earthquakes and provide valuable information for analysis structural response, finite element model calibration, assessment postearthquake damage. In this investigation, Pacoima arch dam were used to identify modal parameters. identified parameters dam, derived ...

System identification plays a crucial role in structural dynamics and vibro-acoustic system optimization. The followed approach is based on the “Modal Analysis” concept. The Eigenmodes of the system model can be visualized and allow a direct physical interpretation. Using the modal models, design improvements can be predicted and the structure optimized. The present paper not only reviews the t...

In past few years, there have been attempts at utilizing Blind Source Separation (BSS) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) techniques for modal analysis purposes. Most of the early work in this regard has been promising, though restricted to application of these techniques to analytical and laboratory based experimental structures. It is felt that in order to make these techniques applicab...

Dynamic response analysis of mechanical structures is usually performed by adopting numerical/analytical models. Finite element (FE) modeling as a numerical approach plays an important role in dynamic response analysis of complex structures. The calculated dynamic responses from FE analysis are only reliable if accurate FE models are used. There are many elements in real mechanical structures w...

data envelopment analysis (dea) has been long employed as a popular methodology to evaluate the performance of various production activities with multiple inputs and outputs. however, an important issue is that the production process in the real world inevitably generates undesirable outputs (like wastes and pollutants) along with desirable outputs. therefore, the undesirable outputs should be ...

Abstract We present a modal analysis of coupled two-core integrated waveguides fabricated by femtosecond laser writing as function the core-to-core distance, illuminating position and input light wavelength. In order to do that we use correlation filter method, implementing computer generated holograms in phase-only spatial modulator. Due waveguide symmetry, prove it is not necessary encode com...

Split-hom together structure is a new heavy load rack structure, and its reliability needs to be verified. Through analyzing multimodal hom-connection principle from the perspective of bionics and contact mechanics, the article puts forward three kinds of hom-connection methods and establishes the finite element model and mathematical model of the rack. Afterwards, the finite element model and ...

Non-contact measurement of the response of vibrating structures may be achieved using several different methods including the use of video cameras that offer flexibility in use and advantage in terms of cost. Videos can provide valuable qualitative information to an informed person, but quantitative measurements obtained using computer vision techniques are essential for structural assessment. ...
