Organizers
This mini-symposium covers recent developments in structural monitoring and identification methods with application to complex dynamical systems, including structural health monitoring procedures for damage detection and reliability analysis. The scope includes theoretical, computational and experimental analyses with applications in structural, mechanical and aerospace engineering, as well as other related engineering disciplines in which the analysis of complex dynamical systems is involved.
Topics relevant to the session include:
- Alberto Di Matteo, Assistant Professor, University of Palermo, Italy
- Kalil Erazo, Assistant Teaching Professor, Rice University, USA
