An Experimental Study of Structural Identification of Bridges Using the Kinetic Energy Optimization Technique and the Direct Matrix Updating Method by Gwanghee Heo, Joonryong Jeon

“…This paper aims to develop an SI (structural identification) technique using the KEOT and the DMUM to decide on optimal location of sensors and to update FE model, respectively, which ultimately contributes to a composition of more effective SHM. Owing to the characteristic structural flexing behavior of cable bridges (e.g., cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges), which makes them vulnerable to any vibration, systematic and continuous structural health monitoring (SHM) is pivotal for them. …”
