Structural Damage Identification Using Improved Particle Swarm Optimization

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to solve structural damage identification problem, a damage identification method based on improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) is presented. First, structural frequency and modal strain energy are utilized to obtain damage information. Then, evidence fusion theory is utilized to integrate the information and preliminarily identify structural damage locations. After the damaged locations are determined, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used to identify structural damage extent. Some improved strategies are presented to enhance the search efficiency. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can estimate the damage locations and extent with good accuracy.
