A 200-DOF (Dimension of freedom) test model is designed to correlate with finite element mode. A newly developed frequency-spatial domain decomposition ( FSDD ) technique is used to identify modal characteristics of the full-size building by using ambient response measurements. In the interested frequency ranges of 0～4.5 Hz and 0～ 6.5 Hz altogether 9 bending and torsion modes are identified. As one of the major focuses of the project, the accurate damping estimation is conducted based on FSDD. The identified modal frequencies and mode shapes are utilized for finite element model tuning. Excellent agreement has been achieved with respect to the final tuned finite element (FE) model up to 9 modes.展开更多

To this purpose the paper analyses two test structures： （1） a four-story scaled steel frame tested on a shake table in a controlled laboratory conditions, and （2） a seven-story reinforced concrete building monitored during the seismic excitations of the 1999 Chi-Chi （Taiwan） Earthquake main shock and numerous fore and afiershocks. Some model based damage approaches and statistics based damage indexes are reviewed. The different methodologies and indexes are, then, applied to the two test structures with the final aim of analysing their performance and validity within the case of a laboratory scaled model and a real world structure subjected to input ground motion.展开更多

The effects of harmonic balance nonlinear identification (HBNID) and IHBNID are also studied and compared by using numerical simulation. The effectiveness of the IHBNID is verified through the Mathieu-Duffing equation as an example. With the aid of the new method, the derivation procedure of the incremental harmonic balance method is simplified. The system responses can be represented by the Fourier series expansion in complex form. By keeping several lower-order primary harmonic coefficients to be constant, some of the higher-order harmonic coefficients can be self-adaptive in accordance with the residual errors. The results show that the IHBNID is highly efficient for computation, and excels the HBNID in terms of computation accuracy and noise resistance.展开更多
