Structural Damage Detection Based on Modal Parameters Using Continuous Ant Colony Optimization
A method is presented to detect and quantify structural damages from changes in modal parameters (such as natural frequencies and mode shapes). An inverse problem is formulated to minimize the objective function, defined in terms of discrepancy between the vibration data identified by modal testing...
