Estimation of the full-field dynamic response of a floating bridge using Kalman-type filtering algorithms

Numerical predictions of the dynamic response of complex structures are often uncertain due to uncertainties inherited from the assumed load effects. Inverse methods can estimate the true dynamic response of a structure through system inversion, combining measured acceleration data with a system model. This article presents a case study of...

The use of inverse methods for response estimation of long-span suspension bridges with uncertain wind loading conditions: Practical implementation and results for the Hardanger Bridge

Structural health monitoring (SHM) seeks to assess the condition or behaviour of the structure from measurement data, which for long-span bridges typically are wind velocities and/or structural vibrations. However, in the assessment of the wind-induced response effects, models for the actual loads must be adopted, which introduces uncertainties....
