Bayesian Methods for Nonlinear System Identification of Civil Structures

This paper presents a new framework for the identification of mechanics-based nonlinear finite element (FE) models of civil structures using Bayesian methods. In this approach, recursive Bayesian estimation methods are utilized to update an advanced nonlinear FE model of the structure using the inpu...
