This paper investigates the use of rank aggregation strategies for the finite element model calibration of monitored masonry structures subjected to earthquakes. Ranking is used to obtain optimal results from several competing optimization strategies, with the final aim of establishing a numerical model of reference to support the existing monitoring systems installed on the structures.
Recently, features and techniques from speech processing have started to gain increasing attention in the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) community, in the context of vibration analysis. In particular, the Cepstral Coefficients (CCs) proved to be apt in discerning the response of a damaged structure with respect to a given undamaged baseline. Previous works relied on the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs).
