Damage Detection of 2D Frame Structures using Incomplete Measurements by Optimization Procedure and Model Reduction

Abstract

<jats:p>The article presents an effective method for damage assessment of 2D frame structures using incomplete modal data by optimization procedure and model reduction technique. In this proposed method, the structural damage detection problem is defined as an optimization problem, in which a hybrid objective function and the damage severity of all elements are considered as the objective function and the continuous design variables, respectively. The teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is applied as a powerful optimization tool to solve the problem. In addition, owing to the use of incomplete measurements, an improved reduction system (IRS) technique is adopted to reduce the mass and stiffness matrices of structural finite element model. The efficiency and robustness of the proposed method are validated with a 4-storey (3 bay) steel plane frame involving several damage scenarios without and with measurement noise. The obtained results clearly demonstrate that even the incompleteness and noisy environment of measured modal data, the present method can work properly in locating and estimating damage of the frame structure by utilizing only the first five incomplete modes' data.

Modal Kinetic Energy Change Ratio-based Damage Assessment of Laminated Composite Beams using Noisy and Incomplete Measurements

“…It should be mentioned that in most practical situations, since only the spatially-incomplete mode shapes of damaged structure are extracted from experimental data, model reduction techniques like improved reduced system (IRS) [27,28] or iterated IRS (IIRS) [5,29,30] could be utilized to handle with the issue. In this present work, the IIRS technique is adopted as follows:…”

“…Up to now, nature-based metaheuristic algorithms have been developing very fast, e.g., genetic algorithm [43], particle swarm optimization (PSO) [44], differential evolution [45], cuckoo search algorithm [46], and other algorithms [47][48][49][50]. Some of them have successfully been applied in various fields, such as grey wolf optimization for temperature-based oil-water relative permeability [16] and PSO algorithm for predicting the scour depth around bridge piers [51].…”
