Crack identification in structures is a typical inverse analysis problem, which is very crucial for the reliability evaluation of various structures. In recent years, the rapid development of numerical technologies and artificial intelligence algorithms has provided a new way for crack detection. Numerical methods are used as the forward analysis tools to solve crack problems, while intelligent optimization approaches are applied to identify crack geometries based on the data collected by forward modeling. In this paper, the research status of crack identification, with the combined typical computational tools and well-known intelligent optimization schemes, is briefly summarized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
