The Hysteresis Bouc-Wen Model, a Survey

Abstract: Structural systems often show nonlinear behavior under severe excitations generated by natural hazards. In that condition, the restoring force becomes highly nonlinear showing significant hysteresis. The hereditary nature of this nonlinear restoring force indicates that the force cannot be described as a function of the instantaneous displacement and velocity. Accordingly, many hysteretic restoring force models were developed to include the time dependent nature using a set of differential equations. This survey contains a review of the past, recent developments and implementations of the Bouc-Wen model which is used extensively in modeling the hysteresis phenomenon in the dynamically excited nonlinear structures.

Q-statistic and T2-statistic PCA-based measures for damage assessment in structures

Abstract: This article explores the use of principal component analysis (PCA) and T2 and Q-statistic measures to detect and distinguish damages in structures. For this study, two structures are used for expe...

Active and semi-active control of structures – theory and applications: A review of recent advances:

Abstract: It is internationally recognized that structural control was introduced in civil engineering through a pioneering article by Yao and through the implementations promoted by Kobori. The concepts of active and semi-active structural control in civil and infrastructure engineering date back 40 years and much progress has been recorded during these four decades. Periodically, state-of-the-art manuscripts have been published and technical books were also printed to testify the maturation of the topic. This article only covers the period from the second semester of 2009 to the first semester of 2011, emphasizing the developments in terms of theoretical, numerical and experimental studies, as well as the use of control algorithms and devices in actual implementations. It is observed that there are still several operational limitations to prevent from the expected growth of the applications in standard design. Nevertheless, some innovative concepts help to foresee future developments within special sectors of app...

Distributed model predictive control

Abstract: The article presents results for distributed model predictive control (MPC), focusing on i) the coordination of the optimization computations using iterative exchange of information and ii) the stability of the closed-loop system when information is exchanged only after each iteration. Current research is focusing on general methods for decomposing large-scale problems for distributed MPC and methods for guaranteeing stability when multiple agents are controlling systems subject to abrupt changes.

Linear System Theory

Abstract: Chapter 8 establishes the relationship between the input and output power spectral densities of a linear system. Limitations on results are carefully detailed and the case of oscillator noise is considered. The theory is extended to multiple input-multiple output systems.
