In this paper, the applicability of an auto-regressive model with exogenous inputs (ARX) in the frequency domain to structural health monitoring (SHM) is established. Damage sensitive features that explicitly consider nonlinear system input/output relationships are extracted from the ARX model. Furthermore, because of the non-Gaussian nature of the extracted features, Extreme Value Statistics (EVS) is employed to develop a robust damage classifier. EVS provides superior performance to standard statistical methods because the data of interest are in the tails (extremes) of the damage sensitive feature distribution. The suitability of the ARX model, combined with EVS, to nonlinear damage detection is demonstrated with an impedance-based method that uses piezoelectric (PZT) material as both actuators and sensors. The analyzed data is obtained from a laboratory experiment of a three-story building model.

The two maps of intense rainfall in the Hydrological Atlas of Switzerland (1992, 1997) are compared to data of an evaluation of extreme value statistics. The results are transferred to recommendations for practioners.

In this study, the fatigue characteristics of aluminum alloys and mechanical components were investigated. To evaluate the effect of forging, fatigue specimens with the same chemical compositions were prepared from billets and forged mechanical components. To evaluate the cleanliness of the aluminum alloys, the cross-sectional area of specimens was observed, and the maximum inclusion sizes were obtained using extreme value statistics. Rotary bending fatigue tests were performed, and the fracture surfaces of the specimens were analyzed. The results show that the forging process not only elevated the fatigue strength but also reduced the scatter of the fatigue life of aluminum alloys. The fatigue characteristics of C-specimens were obtained to develop finite-element method (FEM) models. With the intrinsic fatigue properties and strain–life approach, the FEM analysis results agreed well with the test results.
