Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural health monitoring and vibration control are two important research subjects that are expanding in the engineering and theoretical fields. With the development of estimation methods, diagnosis technology, control strategies, optimization algorithms, multi-physics sensing, and actuating technology, etc., vibration-based structural health monitoring and structural vibration control, especially for uncertain systems under random excitations due to the application of artificial intelligence technology, have been experiencing tremendous progress. Buildings are an important class of engineered structures, which generally have uncertain parameters and are subjected to random excitations due to their structural complexity and environmental uncertainty. Accordingly, research focusing on the technology and theory of health monitoring and vibration control related to built structures will lead to their advancement. This Special Issue focuses on structural health monitoring and vibration control for various extensive engineering and theoretical problems using various estimation, control, optimization, and intelligence technologies, including estimation and identification methods, control strategies and methods, sensing and actuating technology, application analysis and experiments, data processing, machine learning and inference, neural network representation, etc. This issue will bring together and share recent relevant research, aiming to enable extensive development in this area. The potential topics for this issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Structural health monitoring;
- Estimation method and applications;
- Vibration control;
- Control method and applications;
- Sensor and actuator technology and applications;
- Data processing technology and applications;
- Machine learning and inference and applications;
- Neural network algorithm and applications;
- Smart structural dynamics.
