Structural System Identification and Health Monitoring

Infrastructure needs monitoring, especially when it is sophisticated. Structural Health Monitoring delivers an abundance of information for life cycle assessment, maintenance planning and early warning.This graduate level textbook and professional guide provides an introduction to the more basic and system identification methods of SHM. Both parametric and non-parametric methods are formulated in the time or frequency domain. It also covers state and parameter identification, the task of identifying behavior that lies beyond the usual scope of the elastic region, and non-stationarity. All methods are demonstrated using Python, and example code is provided for the featured examples.
