This third volume of eight from the IMAC - XXXII Conference, brings together contributions to this important area of research and engineering. The collection presents early findings and case studies on fundamental and applied aspects of Structural Dynamics, including papers on:
- Linear Systems
- Substructure Modelling
- Adaptive Structures
- Experimental Techniques
- Analytical Methods
- Damage Detection
- Damping of Materials & Members
- Modal Parameter Identification
- Modal Testing Methods
- System Identification
- Active Control
- Modal Parameter Estimation
- Processing Modal Data
This critical collection examines a range of model validation and uncertainty quantification, from uncertainty propagation in structural dynamics to practical applications of MVUQ, as presented in early findings and case studies from the Proceedings of the 32nd IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics, 2014. The collection includes papers in the following general technical research areas:
· Uncertainty Quantification & Model Validation
· Uncertainty Propagation in Structural Dynamics
· Bayesian & Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods
· Practical Applications of MVUQ
· Advances in MVUQ & Model Updating
