Journal Article
Moravej, H., Chan, T. H. T., Jesus, A., & Nguyen, K. D. (2020). Computation-effective structural performance assessment using Gaussian Process-based finite element model updating and reliability analysis. International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, 20(10), Article 2042003. https://doi.org/10.1142/s0219455420420031

Structural health monitoring data has been widely acknowledged as a significant source for evaluating the performance and health conditions of structures. However, a holistic framework that efficiently incorporates monitored data into structural iden...

A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification (2019)
Journal Article
Jesus, A., Živanović, S., & Alani, A. (2020). A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 470, Article 115157. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsv.2019.115157

The dynamic behaviour of footbridges is characterised by modal properties such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping ratios and modal masses. Their estimation via modal tests often requires expensive or difficult-to-operate equipment (e.g. sha... Read More about A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification.

Vibration-based Bayesian model updating of civil engineering structures applying Gaussian process metamodel (2019)
Journal Article
Moravej, H., Chan, T. H. T., Nguyen, K., & Jesus, A. (2019). Vibration-based Bayesian model updating of civil engineering structures applying Gaussian process metamodel. Advances in Structural Engineering, 22(16), 3487-3502. https://doi.org/10.1177/1369433219858723

Structural health monitoring plays a significant role in providing information regarding the performance of structures throughout their life spans. However, information that is directly extracted from monitored data is usually susceptible to uncertai...

Modular Bayesian damage detection for complex civil infrastructure (2019)
Journal Article
Jesus, A., Brommer, P., Westgate, R., Koo, K., Brownjohn, J., & Laory, I. (2019). Modular Bayesian damage detection for complex civil infrastructure. Journal of Civil Structural Health Monitoring, 9(2), 201-215. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13349-018-00321-8

We address the problem of damage identification in complex civil infrastructure with an integrative modular Bayesian framework. The proposed approach uses multiple response Gaussian processes to build an informative yet computationally affordable pro...

Thermal strain extraction methodologies for bridge structural condition assessment (2018)
Journal Article
Zhu, Y., Ni, Y. Q., Jesus, A., Liu, J., & Laory, I. (2018). Thermal strain extraction methodologies for bridge structural condition assessment. Smart Materials and Structures, 27(10), https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-665X/aad5fb

This paper presents a feature extraction method to uncover the temperature effects on bridge responses, which combines mode decomposition, data reduction, and blind separation. For mode decomposition, empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and ensemble e... Read More about Thermal strain extraction methodologies for bridge structural condition assessment.
