the nonlinear static procedures (nsps) proposed by design codes do not lead to reliable results especially for tall buildings. they generally provide inconsistent estimates of inelastic seismic demands, especially for the top floors due to their inabilities in considering the higher modes effects. in this paper, a new enhanced pushover procedure is proposed which is based on the envelope of the...

Fault detection and isolation (FDI) problem for nonlinear dynamic systems has received more and more attentions recently. The significant results mainly belong to three kinds of methods: The method based on nonlinear geometrical theory (1; 2; 3), based on parity space theory (4; 5) and based on adaptive observers (6; 7). The application of the first one is limited because there is not always su...

A nonlinear dynamic compensator framework for Hammerstein systems with passive nonlinear dynamics is proposed. For this class of systems controlled by passive nonlinear dynamic compensators we prove global closed-loop stability by modifying the dynamic compensator to include a suitable input nonlinearity. The proof of this result is based on dissipativity theory and shows that the nonlinear con...

Many interesting dynamic systems in science and engineering evolve on a nonlinear, or curved, space that cannot be globally identified with a linear vector space. Such nonlinear spaces are referred to as manifolds, and they appear in various mechanical systems such as a pendulum, the attitude dynamics of a rigid body, or complex multibody systems. However, the geometric structures of a nonlinea...

it has been pointed out the static lateral response procedure for a base-isolated structure proposed in international building code (ibc) somewhat overestimates the seismic story force. that is why in the current paper, vertical distribution of base shear over the height of isolated structures considering higher mode effects under near field earthquakes is investigated. nonlinear behavior of is...

The output behavior of a nonlinear control system depends not only on its input but also on its initial conditions. These two factors have to be considered simultaneously in nonlinear systems design. This paper presents a new definition, called dynamic right factorization, for nonlinear dynamic control systems. This factorization takes the initial conditions as well as the system input into acc...

Non-linear dynamical systems are difficult to control due to the model uncertainties and external disturbances that may occur in these systems. This paper addresses the problem of identification using dynamic neural networks (DNNs) based on genetic algorithm (GA) for nonlinear dynamic systems. Four different dynamic neural networks are used for identification of the same nonlinear dynamic syste...
