Analytical aspects of structural identification are discussed considering different types of models, different model calibration spaces, and different types and amounts of experimental information. Three-dimensional finite element models and 2D grid models of an operating highway bridge are developed. The models were calibrated by taking advantage of an extensive database of experimental information accumulated from the bridge. Different types of models of varying sizes permit comparison of automated optimized calibration and manual calibration approaches. The experimental data collected characterizes both the local and global behavior of the structure. Modal data acquired with high temporal and spatial resolutions, and instrumented monitoring data describing local and global responses from static and moving truck-load configurations were used to investigate the requisite quantity, quality, and attributes of experimental data that should be considered for analytical modeling and for choosing a model calibration strategy. It is shown that modal updating and calibration must be carried out in both modal and flexibility spaces, and further, that a certain amount of experimental local and global behavior information must be included to accomplish this task. In spite of the difficulties associated with analyzing and calibrating the large 3D finite element models, they performed better in representing the overall properties and responses of the structure. While the 2D grid models are more suitable for automated calibration, given their smaller size and faster computational attributes, their validity in representing the properties of the structure needs further exploration.

Quantitative approach to rapid seismic evaluation of slab-on-girder steel highway bridges Dicleli, Murat (1996-01-01) A quantitative approach follows for developing a methodology for the rapid seismic evaluation and ranking of slab-on-girder steel highway bridges. In the development of this methodology, analytical expressions are introduced to calculate the seismically induced forces and displacements in bridge components, first assuming that damage to bearings is not acceptable and then removing this constraint. In the latter case, the superstructure is assumed to become unrestrained and slide on its supports. The seismic...
Object-based classification of landforms based on their local geometry and geomorphometric context Gerçek, Deniz; Toprak, Vedat; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2010) Terrain as a continuum can be categorized into landform units that exhibit common physiological and morphological characteristics which might serve as a boundary condition for a wide range of application domains. However, heterogeneous views, definitions and applications on landforms yield inconsistent and incompatible nomenclature that lack interoperability. Yet, there is still room for developing methods for establishing a formal background for general type of classification models to provide different di...
Formal Modelling Approaches to Complexity Science in Roman Studies: A Manifesto Brughmans, Tom; Hanson, John; Mandich, Matthew; Romanowska, Iza; Rubio-Campillo, Xavi; Carrignon, Simon; Collins-Elliott, Stephen; Crawford, Katherine; Daems, Drıes; Fulminante, Francesca; De Haas, Timon; Kelly, P; Del Carmen Moreno Escobar, Maria; Paliou, Eleutheria; Prignano, Luce; Ritondale, Manuele (2019-07-01) Complexity science refers to the theoretical research perspectives and the formal modelling tools designed to study complex systems. A complex system consists of separate entities interacting following a set of (often simple) rules that collectively give rise to unexpected patterns featuring vastly different properties than the entities that produced them. In recent years a number of case studies have shown that such approaches have great potential for furthering our understanding of the past phenomena expl...
Multi-target tracking using passive doppler measurements Guldogan, Mehmet B.; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (2013-04-26) In this paper, we analyze the performance of the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter in tracking multiple non-cooperative targets using Doppler-only measurements in a passive sensor network. Clutter, missed detections and multi-static Doppler variances are incorporated into a realistic multi-target scenario. Simulation results show that the GM-PHD filter successfully tracks multiple targets using only Doppler shift measurements in a passive multi-static scenario.
Dynamic stiffness-based test systems for viscoelastic material characterization: Design considerations Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Batihan, Ali Cagri (2012-07-24) In this paper, several important design issues for viscoelastic material characterization test systems which utilize dynamic stiffness measurements are discussed. These discussions are focused on structural dynamics aspects of the design of these test systems. These test systems are used to experimentally obtain the complex modulus of viscoelastic solids such as rubber, plastics, etc. Various standards exist on dynamic stiffness-based viscoelastic material characterization test methods, which give general g...
