System identification in structural engineering

Structural Reformulations in System Identification

In system identification, the choice of model structure is important and it is sometimes desirable to use a flexible model structure that is able to approximate a wide range of systems. One such model structure is the Wiener class of systems, that is, systems where the input enters a linear time-invariant subsystem followed by a time-invariant nonlinearity. Given a sequence of input and output ...

Structural system identification: from reality to models

The paper is an expository contribution on the subject of structural system identification, measured signal processing and their applications to model-based structural health detection. The materials covered in this paper are by and large extracted from the three theses of the first three authors. The paper focuses on the state-space oriented system identification theory as specialized to struc...

Delimiting Structural and Dynamical System Analysis in Engineering Management

1.1 Challenges in engineering management One of the major challenges in engineering management is the ability to respond quickly to new and/or changed requirements and constraints. To establish, ensure and improve this ability several measures exist for the design of products (e.g. modularization), processes (e.g. agile development) and organizations (e.g. task forces). Models of the products, ...
