The objective of this article is to present a new method for identifying the damage location in a multi-story shear building by direct model updating method. In this regard, structural perturbation matrices should be determined that are directly...

This paper is devoted to proposing a new approach for damage detection of structures. In this technique, the biconjugate method -BCG- is employed. To remedy the noise effects, a new preconditioning algorithm is applied. ...

In this paper, a new damage identification formulation is presented for damage identification of the specified fluid-structure system considering rigorous fluid-structure interaction and model updating method. The formulation is clearly proposed...

, etc. To create a reliable and accurate finite element model of structures, one can use the model updating algorithms which are popular nowadays particularly. Model updating procedure is normally based on an optimization framework in with the model...

with the real structures due to significant discrepancies between test measurements and model predictions. This study is intended to propose an iterative model updating method to adjust the mass and stiffness matrices of the FE models by improving model updating...

A new sensitivity-based damage detection method is proposed to identify and estimate

the location and severity of structural damage using incomplete noisy modal data. For

these purposes, an improved sensitivity ...
