Special Session S1: Probabilistic system identification and health monitoring of structures
Chair: T. Yin, Wuhan University, China
Co-chair: H.F. Lam, City University of Hong Kong, China
SUMMARY:
The quality of randomness is inherent characteristic both of loads borne by structures and of the
properties of the structure themselves. For better description and assessment of structural behavior
and health status during the service period, probabilistic methods must be restored to, considering
all aspects of uncertainty arisen from external loading, structural properties etc.
This special session provides a forum for recent scholarly work dealing primarily with probabilistic
and statistical approaches to problems of structural modal and model parameters identification,
structural health monitoring and so on, encountered in diverse technical disciplines, such as
aerospace, civil, mechanical and nuclear engineering. The special session aims to maintain a
healthy balance between general computational techniques and problem-specific applied results,
encouraging a fruitful exchange of ideas among disparate engineering specialties within the scope
of probabilistic based health monitoring and system identification of structures.
