A Structural Identification Method Based on Recurrent Neural Network and Auto-Regressive and Moving Average Model
The work presented a structural identification method based on recurrent neural network and auto-regressive and moving average model. The proposed approach involves two steps. The first step is to build a recurrent neural network to map the complex nonlinear relation between the excitations and responses of the structure-unknown system by on-line learning . The second step is to propose a procedure to determine the modal parameters of the structure from the trained neural networks. The dynamic characteristics of the structure are directly evaluated from the weighting matrices of the trained recurrent neural network. Furthermore, a illustrative example demonstrates the feasibility of using the proposed method to identify modal parameters of structure-unknown systems.
