La estimación de parámetros de sistemas dinámicos se basa en inferir los parámetros del sistema a partir del conocimiento de un conjunto de entradas y salidas. En ingeniería civil, la principal aplicación es la actualización de modelos de elementos finitos, donde el objetivo es estimar sus parámetros a partir del comportamiento real de la...
Wind action can induce large amplitude vibrations in the stay cables of bridges. To reduce the vibration level of these structural elements, different types of passive damping devices are usually installed. In this paper, a motion-based design method is proposed and implemented in order to achieve the optimum design of different passive damping...
Stay cables exhibit both great slenderness and low damping, which make them sensitive to resonant phenomena induced by the dynamic character of external actions. Furthermore, for these same reasons, their modal properties may vary significantly while in service due to the modification of the operational and environmental conditions. In order to...
The finite element model (FE) updating is a calibration method that allows minimizing the discrepancies between the numerical and experimental modal parameters. As result, a more accurate FE model is obtained and the structural analysis can represent the real behaviour of the structure. However, it is a high computational cost process. To...
Passive damping devices are widely installed to control the vibration level of stay cables of bridges induced by wind action. The design of passive damping devices must ensure the performance for the all the life-cycle of the structure. In this sense, the design should consider the changes of the pre-fixed parameters and environmental...
Finite-element-models are usually employed to simulate the behaviour of historical constructions. However, despite the high complexity of these numerical models, there are always discrepancies between the actual behaviour of the structure and the numerical predictions obtained. In order to improve their performance, an updating process can be...
Load models that account for Human-Structure Interaction (HSI) may be preferable to accurately predict the dynamic response of lightweight footbridges subjected to pedestrian actions. Representing each person within a crowd may not be practical in engineering design calculations as time-variant models with a large number of degrees of freedom...
Human-Structure Interaction (HSI) may influence the dynamic behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) footbridges due to the lightweight nature of composite materials. Hence, load models that account for HSI should be applied to accurately predict vibration levels on these pedestrian structures. This paper proposes a model to assess the...
