KurzbeschreibungThis course will present methodologies for defining a structural system, and assessing its condition based on structural response data. This data is made available via measurements, which are nowadays available from low-cost and easily deployed sensor technologies. The course will explain how engineers may exploit technology for designing and maintaining a safe and resilient infrastructure.
LernzielThis course aims at providing a graduate level introduction into the modeling and identification of structural systems. The goal is to establish relationships governing the system behavior and to identify the characteristics (mechanical, geometrical properties) of the system itself, based on noisy or incomplete measurements of the structural response.

The course will include theory, as well as laboratory and actual-scale structural testing, thereby offering a well-rounded overview of the ways in which we may extract response data from structures.
InhaltThe topics to be covered are :

- Fundamentals of vibrational analysis, signal processing and structural system representation

- Modal Testing, Operational Modal Analysis

- Parametric & Nonparametric Identification: Frequency Domain decomposition, Least Squares methods, ARMA models, Bayesian approaches.

- Heuristic methods: Genetic Algorithms, Neural Networks.

The differences between linear and nonlinear system identification will also be addressed.

A comprehensive series of computer/lab exercises and in-class demonstrations will take place, providing a "hands-on" feel for the course topics.

Grading:
The final grade will be obtained, either
- by 30% from the graded exercises and 70% from the written session examination, or
- by the written session examination exclusively.
The highest ranking of the above two options will be used, so that assignments are only used to strengthen the grade.
SkriptThe course script is composed by the lecture slides, which are available online and will be continuously updated throughout the duration of the course: Link

Zusatzinformation zum PrüfungsmodusThis course offers optional homework as learning tasks, which can improve the grade of the end-of-semester examination up to 0.25 grade points (bonus).
The learning tasks will be taken into account if all 3 homeworks are submitted. The maximum grade of 6 can also be achieved by sitting the final examination only.
