Structural identification and damage detection using genetic algorithms

A comprehensive review of robust methods based on genetic algorithms (GA), this book presents readers with the background and recent developments required to conduct research and apply GA-based methods for parameter identification, model updating, and damage detection of structural dynamic systems. It demonstrates a novel strategy that focuses on structural identification problems with limited and noise contaminated measurements. This book also presents parameterestimation of non-linear structural systems to illustrate the power and versatility of the GA-based identification strategy. INDICE: 1. Introduction; 2. A Primer to Genetic Algorithms; 3. An ImprovedGA Strategy; 4. Structural Identification by GA; 5. Output-Only Structural Identification; 6. Structural Damage Detection; 7. Experimental Verification Study; 8. Substructure Methods of Identification; References, Appendix, Index.
