Abstract:Identifying damage initiation and development in engineering structures non-parametrically in the form of a nonlinear restoring force (NRF) after strong dynamic loading is attractive. Due to the individuality of various engineering structures, it is quite challenging to assume, in advance, a general parametric model describing the nonlinear behavior. Although a traditional extended Kalman filter (EKF) is efficient in state vector estimation and structural parameter identification with partially available output measurements, a known structural mass is usually required. In this study, a simultaneous NRF and mass identification approach is developed for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures using the EKF with weighted global iteration (EKF-WGI) based on limited available absolute acceleration response. The NRF is modeled in a nonparametric way with a power series polynomial model (PSPM) as a function of unknown structural displacement and velocity responses. Then, the performance of the new approach is numerically evaluated using multi-story structures equipped with magneto-rheological (MR) dampers having known applied excitations and partially available noise-contaminated acceleration measurements, but unknown mass. No parametric model for the NRF of the MR dampers is employed. The effect of different noise levels and different initial estimation errors of structural mass on both NRF and mass identification results and the convergence of the approach are investigated. Finally, a dynamic test on a four-story frame structure equipped with an MR damper is carried out and the algorithm is experimentally validated. Comparisons show that the identified NRF provided by the MR damper matches the measurement and that the identified mass is also accurate.

Dr. Bin Xu is currently the Minjiang Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering, a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government, at Huaqiao University, Xiamen, China. He currently is the Director and Founder of the Key Laboratory for Intelligent Infrastructure and Monitoring (IIM) of Fujian Province, and the Director and Founder of the International Centre for Safety and Sustainability of Civil Engineering at Huaqiao University.
Before joining Huaqiao University, he was a Lotus Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering (a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government) at Hunan University from 2005 to 2016 and was also the associate dean of the College of Civil Engineering at Hunan University from 2010 to 2016. He was also the Director of the Hunan Provincial Key Lab on Damage Prognosis for Engineering Structures from 2015 to 2016 at Hunan University. He taught and carried out research at the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University as a Curtis Visiting Professor appointed by Purdue University in 2014-2015 academic year. He had been invited and financially support by European Commission to work at Sapienza University of Roma in 2010 and hired by University of Western Australia as a Gledden Visiting Senior Fellow from 2007 to 2008. Before starting working in China in 2005, he worked at University of Missouri-Rolla in US as a Post-Doc from 2003 to 2005 and at Ibaraki University in Japan as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellow from 2001 to 2003.
He has been the supervisor of 7 Ph.D., 1 Post-Doc, 4 international visiting students and over 60 MS students. All of his PhD students are working at universities. Dr. Xu has committed to securing competitive external funds to support programs, research, and labs. He has been the PI and Co-PI of 14 competitive government funded research projects including a China- European Commission international collaborative research project, an international collaborative research project between National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and National Natural Science Foundation (NSF) of US, and a number of NSFC research projects. He is also the recipient of Grant-in-aid of 7 talent programs sponsored by China Ministry of Education (CMoE) and other government agencies.
He also serves on various academic societies as Editor-in-Chief, Executive Editor, Associate Editor, Guest Editor or editorial board member for international journals and professional committees as Standing Committee Member, Executive Member or Committee Members.
