Abstract

In order to solve the problem of damage location and degree identification of beam structure under multiple damage and small damage condition, a two-stage recognition method based on the improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was proposed. Firstly, the first stage damage localization is carried out. The D-S evidence theory fusion algorithm is used to fuse element damage variable and element stiffness reduction coefficient. Then, the improved PSO algorithm is used to update the location results and accurately quantify the damage. The results of simulation and experiment show that the two-stage recognition method can identify the damage locations and detect the damage extent precisely for multi-damage and small damage, and has the advantage of good anti-noise performance.
