abstract

changes in dynamic properties of structures indicate occurrence of damages in the structures. in this paper, a new two stage algorithm for damage detection of large structure is introduced. a modified residual force method is utilized to locate the damage regions in structures, especially barrel vaults, and then the enhanced charged system search (css) algorithm is used to quantify the amount of damage. the proposed method requires modeling the structure in its undamaged state to obtain the dynamic properties such as frequencies and mode shapes of the structure in its damaged state. the validation of the method is investigated by some numerical study on space structures. it is shown that if dynamic properties are not affected by noise, the method can still identify damaged elements, but when measurements are corrupted by noise, the exact determination of damaged region is not possible. to overcome this problem, it is proposed to repeat measuring modal properties several times, and then with utilizing residual force vector and statistical analysis, the damaged region is predicted accurately. in this paper, a modified vector is utilized for enhancing efficiency of the modal residual force method and suppressing effect of noise, and then a threshold is defined to distinguish dofs associated with damaged elements. then, using the css algorithm, severities of damaged elements are assessed.

damage detection in skeletal structures based on charged system search optimization using incomplete modal data

it is well known that damaged structural members may alter the behaviour of the structures considerably. careful observation of these changes has often been viewed as a means to identify and assess the location and severity of damages in structures. among the responses of a structure, natural frequencies and natural modes are both relatively easy to obtain and independent from external excitati...

Damage Detection of Truss Structures using an Improved Charged System Search Algorithm

In this paper, detection and assessment of structural damage using the changes in a structure's natural frequencies is addressed as an optimization problem. The damaged element(s) and the percentage of damage are considered as the problem variables. The objective is to set these variables such that the natural frequencies of the model correspond to the experimentally measured frequencies of the...

AN EFFICIENT CHARGED SYSTEM SEARCH USING CHAOS

The Charged System Search (CSS) is combined to chaos to solve mathematical global optimization problems. The CSS is a recently developed meta-heuristic optimization technique inspired by the governing laws of physics and mechanics. The present study introduces chaos into the CSS in order to increase its global search mobility for a better global optimization. Nine chaos-based CSS (CCSS) methods...
