[en] The COST Action F3 “Structural Dynamics” was initiated in 1997 by Professor Jean-Claude Golinval. The main objective of this COST Action is to increase the knowledge required for improving the structural design, the mechanical reliability, and the safety of structures in linear and non-linear dynamics. This research Action is supported by the European Community and is divided into three working groups dealing with the following issues: WG1: “Finite Element Model Updating Methods”; WG2: “Health Monitoring and Damage Detection”; and WG3: “Identification of Non-linear Systems”. This paper presents the objectives of the COST Action F3, the organization of the Action, the members of the management committee, and the scientific program of each working group in more detail. Finally, preliminary results of the COST Action are presented.
