Abstract

This mini-symposium invites contributions from a wide range of scholars involved in the development of novel and innovative studies on the dynamics of structures, dynamic identification, experimental dynamics, and the modeling of structures and infrastructures in the dynamic domain. The goal is to create an interdisciplinary forum that fosters discussion and knowledge sharing among researchers, engineers, and practitioners. Advanced methodologies for dynamic characterization, new measurement and analysis techniques, and the integration of numerical models with experimental data will be explored. Participation in this mini-symposium provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the advancement of research and practice in structural dynamics, with a particular focus on the experimental verification and analysis in engineering dynamics.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Vibration control systems
• Shake-table and real-scale dynamic tests
• Inverse problems, identification, optimization, and model updating
• Nonlinear time series analysis
• Vibration-based damage detection
• Structural health monitoring (SHM) strategies and operational conditions
• Characterization of environmental excitations such as earthquakes and wind
• Experimental techniques to characterize damping
• Energy Harvesting systems
• Signal Processing technique for experimental dynamics
