J. Enrique Luco, Auteur ; Ozcelik, O., Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Auteur |The main objective of this paper is to investigate the tracking (signal reproduction) capability of the UCSD-NEES shake table system through a series of broadband and harmonic experiments with different tuning and test amplitudes. The second obj[...]

Yim, Solomon C. S., Auteur ; Lin, Huan, Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Éditeur scientifique |Analyses and simulations of the coupled surge-and-heave motions of a nonlinear, moored, experimental, submerged structure subjected to random waves are presented here. The random wave excitations examined include periodic waves with additive noi[...]

Damage Identification on the Tilff Bridge by Vibration Monitoring using Optical Fiber Strain Sensors
Reynders, Edwin, Auteur ; De Roeck, Guido, Auteur ; Bakir, Pelin Gundes ; Sauvage, Claude ; Joel P. Conte, Éditeur scientifique |Vibration testing is a well-known practice for damage identification of civil engineering structures. The real modal parameters of a structure can be determined from the data obtained by tests using system identification methods. By comparing th[...]

Sasani, M., Auteur ; Nicos Makris, Auteur ; Bolt, B. A. ; Joel P. Conte, Éditeur scientifique |Under pulse-type ground motions modal analysis is not quite efficient for estimating the elastic response of multi-degree-of-freedom systems, in particular when the effects of higher modes are significant. This paper first shows that the assumpt[...]

Seyydian, Hamid, Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Éditeur scientifique |A method for analyzing the free vibration of complex structural systems, consisting of a simple oscillator attached to a beam with an internal hinge, is presented. A mathematical model possessing important features of singularity functions with[...]

Segal, Fred, Auteur ; Val, Dimitri V., Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Éditeur scientifique |Response of structures to static and dynamic loads may be assessed in terms of energy. The energy evaluation depends on hysteretic models used to describe inelastic behavior of structures and their elements. One of the hysteretic models often em[...]

Ozcelik, O., Auteur ; Restrepo, J. I., Auteur ; Trombetti, T. L., Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Auteur ; J. Enrique Luco, Auteur |This paper proposes a simple conceptual mathematical model for the mechanical components of the NEES-UCSD large high-performance outdoor shaking table and focuses on the identification of the parameters of the model by using an extensive set of [...]

Zona, A., Auteur ; Barbato, M., Auteur ; Joel P. Conte |The Behavior of steel concrete composite beams is strongly influenced by the type of shear connection between the steel beam and the concrete slab. For accurate analytical predictions, the structural model must account for the interlayer slip br[...]

Dionisio Bernal, Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Éditeur scientifique |Localization of damage from changes in flexibility in structures identified from operational or ambient vibration has long been hindered by the fact that the flexibility cannot be extracted exclusively from output signals. This obstacle is subst[...]

Quan Gu, Auteur ; Michele Barbato, Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Auteur |In this paper, the direct differentiation method (DDM) for finite-element (FE) response sensitivity analysis is extended to linear and nonlinear FE models with multi-point constraints (MPCs). The analytical developments are provided for three di[...]

Ozcelik, O., Auteur ; J. Enrique Luco, Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Auteur |A least-squares method is used to determine the fundamental parameters of a simple mathematical model for the mechanical subsystem of the NEES-UCSD large high performance outdoor shaking table. The parameters identified include the effective hor[...]

Li, Huajun, Auteur ; Yang, Hezhen, Auteur ; Hu, S.-L. James ; Joel P. Conte, Éditeur scientifique |This article presents a newly developed modal strain energy decomposition method for damage localization that is capable of identifying damage to individual members of three-dimensional (3D) frame structures. This method is based on decomposing [...]

Michele Barbato, Auteur ; Quan Gu, Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Auteur |Structural reliability problems involving the use of advanced finite-element models of real-world structures are usually defined by limit-states expressed as functions (referred to as limit-state functions) of basic random variables used to char[...]

Quan Gu, Auteur ; Michele Barbato, Auteur ; Joel P. Conte, Auteur |The finite-element (FE) method is widely recognized as a powerful tool in modeling structural and geotechnical systems and simulating their response to static and dynamic loads. In addition, numerical optimization is commonly used in many engine[...]
