Abstract
The investigation reported in this paper looks into the application of a number of system-identification techniques to problems of earthquake engineering. A number of techniques for structural-system identification have been developed over the past few years. Many of these techniques have been successful at identifying properties of linearized and time-invariant equivalent structural systems. Most of these techniques were verified using mathematical models simulated on the computer. In this paper, a number of structural-identification algorithms are reviewed and applied to the identification of structural systems subjected to earthquake excitations. The algorithms are applied to experimental data obtained in controlled laboratory conditions. The data pertain to the acceleration records from two building models subjected to various loading conditions. The performance of the various identification algorithms is critically assessed, and guidelines are obtained regarding their suitability to various engineeri...

An adaptive extended Kalman filter for structural damage identification

TL;DR: In this paper, an adaptive tracking technique based on the extended Kalman filter approach is proposed to identify the structural parameters and their changes when vibration data involve damage events, which is capable of tracking the changes of system parameters from which the event and severity of structural damage may be detected on-line.

Modelling nonlinear random vibrations using an amplitude-dependent autoregressive time series model

TL;DR: In this paper, a discrete time series model is introduced, which may be demonstrated to have properties similar to those of nonlinear random vibrations, and the model is fitted to the Canadian lynx data and demonstrates that it may be possible to regard the periodic behaviour of this series as being generated by some underlying self-exciting mechanism.

Recursive Estimation and Time-Series Analysis: An Introduction for the Student and Practitioner

TL;DR: The CAPTAIN Toolbox for recursive estimation and time series analysis has been developed at Lancaster, for use in the MatlabTM software environment (see Appendix G). Consequently, the present version of the book is able to exploit the many computational routines that are contained in this widely available Toolbox, as well as some of the other routines in Matlab TM and its other toolboxes.
