Parameter Identification of Structures with Different Connections Using Static Responses

This paper presents a parameter-identification method for rod structures with different connections. In this method, the parameters of structure are adjusted to match its analytical and measured displacements. The damage identification truss rigid frame were investigated. Previous studies often considered cross-sectional area or joint damage; there few on simultaneous existence these two types damage. study, both was performed. Based displacements, proposed can accurately identify frame.
