In this work, the MAC was used to correlate all DOF at a single instance in time. The MAC is written as MACij D hfX1ig T ˚X2j i 2 hfX1ig T fX1igi h ˚X2j T ˚ X2j i (44.20) where X1 and X2 are displacement vectors. MAC values close to 1.0 indicate strong similarity between vectors, whereas values close to 0.0 indicate minimal or no similarity. 44.2.6.2 Time Response Assurance Criteria (TRAC) The Time Response Assurance Criterion (TRAC) [34] quantifies the similarity between a single DOF across all instances in time. The TRAC is written as
