This paper investigates the application and the performance of covariance matrix adaptation-
evolution strategy (CMA-ES) in structural damage detection and quantification. Many of the …

In this paper, an effective method for structural damage detection is put forth in which an
objective function based on the natural frequencies and modal shapes of the structure is …

An experimental verification of a damage detection process using novel optimization
techniques such as modified real coded genetic algorithms and swarm‐based algorithms is …

Deterioration and degradation of aging structures is a major concern worldwide. It is often
necessary to evaluate the integrity of such structural systems. Early detection and eventual …

Optimization techniques have been applied to structural health monitoring and damage
detection of civil infrastructures for two decades. The standard particle swarm optimization …

In this paper, two methods, including flexibility matrix and combination of natural frequencies
and mode shapes, are employed to detect the damage location and its severity by creating …

An efficient optimization procedure is proposed to detect multiple damage in structural
systems. Natural frequency changes of a structure are considered as a criterion for damage …

Structural damage identification is a scientific field that has attracted a lot of interest in the
scientific community during the recent years. There have been many studies intending to …
