A Genetic Algorithm for Structural Damage Detection Based on Vibration Data
نویسنده
چکیده
1. INTRODUCTION In this paper genetic algorithm with real number encoding is applied to identify the structural damage with vibration data. The objective function is minimized by directly comparing the changes in the measurements before and after damage, rather than updating the finite element model in the undamaged and damaged states. Three different criteria are considered, namely the frequency changes, the mode shape changes and their combination. A laboratory tested cantilever beam and a frame are used to demonstrate the proposed technique. Numerical results show that all the damaged elements can be detected accurately by genetic algorithm, even when the analytical model is not accurate. The weights of frequency changes and mode shape changes are also investigated.

متن کاملBASIS PURSUIT BASED GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION
In damage detection the number of elements is generally more than the number of measured frequencies. Consequently, the corresponding damage detection equation is undetermined and thus has infinite solutions. Since in the damaged structures most of their elements remain healthy, the sparsest solution for the damage detection equation is mostly the actual damage. In the proposed method, the dama...
