Abstract
After a disaster like the catastrophic earthquake, the government have to use rapid assessment of the condition (or
damage) of bridges, buildings and other infrastructures is mandatory for rapid feedbacks, rescue and post-event management.
Many domain schemes based on the measured vibration computations, including least squares estimation and neural fuzzy logic
control, have been studied and found to be effective for online/offline monitoring of structural damage. Traditional strategies
require all external stimulus data (input data) which have been measured available, but this may not be the generalized for all
structures. In this article, a new method with unknown inputs (excitations) is provided to identify structural matrix such as
stiffness, mass, damping and other nonlinear parts, unknown disturbances for example. An analytical solution is thus constructed
and presented because the solution in the existing literature has not been available. The goals of this paper are towards access to
adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services, promotion of inclusive and sustainable urbanization and participation,
implementation of sustainable and disaster-resilient buildings, sustainable human settlement planning and manage. Simulation
results of linear and nonlinear structures show that the proposed method is able to identify structural parameters and their
changes due to damage and unknown excitations. Therefore, the goal is believed to achieved in the near future by the ongoing
development of AI and control theory.
