Our built infrastructure comprises an evolving organism, which requires monitoring and diagnostics throughout its service life in order to ensure a reliable and safe operation. To this end, Structural Identification (St-Id) exploits sensory feedback in order to reveal an abundance of information on the system throughout its life-cycle. The decoding of this information into an adequate... Read more
