20.500.12556/RUL-175600 Python open-source signal processing and modeling/simulation for scientific research in structural dynamics a review Open-source scientific research has become indispensable, because it fosters a global collaborative environment in which knowledge is freely shared, accelerating the pace of discovery. Emphasizing transparency and reproducibility ensures the credibility of scientific findings, while democratizing access to research gives a wider community the opportunity to contribute to progress. Avoiding duplication of effort leads to faster progress and greater societal benefit. The Python programming language provides readable code and is highly collaborative, leading to a large user community. Libraries such as NumPy (i.e. numerical Python) and SciPy (i.e. scientific computing) have been developed for scientific research. The latter was crucial, for example, in the discovery of gravitational waves and the first imaging of a black hole. This review focuses on selected open-source Python libraries that support scientific development in the field of signal processing and mechanical systems. In particular, the article focuses on packages related to signal processing, experimental and operational modal analysis, vibration fatigue, image-based identification of structural dynamics, vibration control, substructuring, rotor dynamics, vibrations in pipeline systems, and machine-learning. A basic theoretical overview of the presented topics and some typical use cases for selected open-source packages are given. Finally, this review article proposes a strategy to increase collaboration among many researchers resulting in highly-related future scientific packages. The purpose of this review is to help new researchers get started in open-source-based signal processing, while those already active can learn the development principles for better and interconnected scientific packages. open-source structural dynamics Python signal processing image based structural identification vibration fatigue rotordynamics vibration-control odprta koda strukturna dinamika python true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-11-05 12:30:34 2025-11-05 12:30:42 2026-07-13 11:06:51 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 48 str. art. 113465 Vol. 241 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 004.4 1096-1216 10.1016/j.ymssp.2025.113465 255985411 1-s2.0-S0888327025011665-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S0888327025011665-main.pdf 1 549F3C7DDCFF9C884CFD53F32D806939 ae67492d93ae44daaa6e87e6434b4fa49818a4fb8325528fb80fc029e69bd04e 764d85b9-79ec-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=237250 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0888327025011665 0 39457c06-ba3c-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=221392 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
