Abstract
SUMMARY This new method of identifying structural parameters, called ‘symbolization-based differential evolution strategy’ (SDES), merges the advantages of symbolic time series analysis and differential evolution (DE). Data symbolization in SDES alleviates the effects of harmful noise. SDES was numerically compared with particle swarm optimization and DE on raw acceleration data. These simulations revealed that SDES provided better estimates of structural parameters when the data were contaminated by noise. We applied SDES to experimental data to assess its feasibility in realistic problems. SDES performed much better than particle swarm optimization and DE on raw acceleration data. The simulations and experiments show that SDES is a powerful tool for identifying unknown parameters of structural systems even when the data are contaminated with relatively large amounts of noise.
