Abstract We address the practical issue that popular computation platforms like Matlab $$^{\copyright }$$ © are unable to perform Jordan normal (canonical) form J and associated transform matrix P on a high-dimension matrix. Given knowledge of eigenvalues eigenvectors n -sq...

This article presents a damage detection method for prestressed reinforced concrete (PRC) elements based on free vibration tests and nonlinear damping identification. Integrated static and dynamic experiments were carried out on three precast PRC beam specimens. The static loading induced different levels of damage to the beams. At each damage level, impulsive loading was applied to the beams a...

We present an algorithm that computes the weight of a Boolean function from its Algebraic Normal Form (ANF). For functions acting on high number of variables (n > 30) and having low number of monomials in its ANF, the algorithm is advantageous over the standard method of computing weight which requires the transformation of function’s ANF to its truth table with a complexity of O(n2) operations...
