Modified ERA method for operational modal analysis in the presence of harmonic excitations

TL;DR: In this paper, a modified ERA method is proposed, which can be applied as an identification procedure to include the effect of purely harmonic vibrations, assuming the harmonic frequencies are known a priori.

Progressive finite element model calibration of a long-span suspension bridge based on ambient vibration and static measurements

TL;DR: In this article, a two-phase model updating approach is presented to develop a baseline model for the Runyang Suspension Bridge (RSB), which is the longest bridge in China with a main span of 1490 m.

Time-varying system identification using a newly improved HHT algorithm

TL;DR: In this paper, an improved Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) algorithm is presented for identification of time-varying systems and analysis of nonlinear structural response with closely spaced modes.

From input-output to output-only modal identification of civil engineering structures

TL;DR: In this paper, a brief characterization of the evolution of experimental modal analysis in the Civil Engineering field, from Input-Output to Output-Only Modal Identification Techniques, taking particularly into account the experience of the authors at the Laboratory of Vibrations and Monitoring (VIBEST, www.fe.up.pt/vibest) of FEUP is presented.
