MOVA/MOSS SHM Software solutions

Smart Masonry enabling SAFEty-assessing STructures after earthquakes

MOVA and MOSS are two comprehensive software solutions designed for the integral Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of structures. Originally developed in the MATLAB environment, both have recently been upgraded to standalone C++ versions.

MOVA is a software tool for Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) and includes a variety of system identification techniques such as Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD), Data-driven Stochastic Subspace Identification (DATA-SSI), Covariance-driven Stochastic Subspace Identification (COV-SSI), polyreference Least Squares Complex Frequency-domain (p-LSCF), Eigensystem Realization Algorithm (ERA), and blind source separation. Its intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) allows users to animate complex mode shapes, generate stabilization diagrams, conduct clustering analysis, and export diverse data and graphics options.

MOSS, on the other hand, is designed for automated OMA and damage detection in SHM. The software can automatically manage data recordings of ambient vibrations and environmental variables. It also includes multiple regression models for damage identification and a package for surrogate modeling.
