Optimization techniques have been applied to structural health monitoring and damage detection of civil infrastructures for two decades. The standard particle swarm optimization (PSO) is easy to fall into the local optimum and such deficiency also exists in the multiparticle swarm coevolution optimization (MPSCO). This paper presents an improved MPSCO algorithm (IMPSCO) firstly and then integrates it with Newmark’s algorithm to localize and quantify the structural damage by using the damage threshold proposed. To validate the proposed method, a numerical simulation and an experimental study of a seven-story steel frame were employed finally, and a comparison was made between the proposed method and the genetic algorithm (GA). The results show threefold: (1) the proposed method not only is capable of localization and quantification of damage, but also has good noise-tolerance; (2) the damage location can be accurately detected using the damage threshold proposed in this paper; and (3) compared with the GA, the IMPSCO algorithm is more efficient and accurate for damage detection problems in general. This implies that the proposed method is applicable and effective in the community of damage detection and structural health monitoring.

It mainly introduces four methods, permeation testing method, radiographic inspection, ultrasonic inspection and measurement and holographic speckle detection, to test composite structure defects, including their testing principles, field of application, specific testing steps,etc. Among the four nondestructive testing technologies for composite materials, the holographic speckle detection is the most advanced and widely used one and has been being improved.

A hybrid piezoelectric (PZT)/fibre optic diagnostic system has been developed for damage detection in built up composite structures. The hybrid system uses PZT transducers to actuate the structure and fibre optic (FO) sensors to capture the propagating wave. The diagnostic system will then have the advantages of both PZT and FO sensors. The applicability of the system is then tested for detecting an artificial damage at a skin/stiffener interface of a thick composite structure. The response of the FO sensors is then compared to PZT sensors and presented.
