In order to study Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm and structural damage diagnosis, a method based on PSO algorithm and Evidence theory is presented in this paper. First, structural frequency and modal strain energy are considered as two kinds of information sources, and frequency change method and modal strain energy method are utilized to extract damage information. Then, evidence theory is utilized to integrate the two information sources and preliminarily detect structural damage locations. Finally, the PSO algorithm is used to identify structural damage extent. An improved PSO algorithm is also presented. Simulation results show that the evidence theory can identify the suspected damage locations, and the PSO algorithm can precisely detect the damage extent. It can also be observed that the improved PSO algorithm is obviously better than the simple PSO algorithm.

In order to solve the damage detection problem, a damage detection method based on strain energy and evidence theory is presented in this paper. First, an evidence theory method is proposed to identify structural damage locations. Then, structural modal strain energy is utilized to quantify structural damage extents. In general, structural strain energy dissipation should be equal to the change of modal strain energy, according to this theory, a new energy equation is deduced, and structural damage extent can be obtained through the solution of the equation. The simulation results show that the method can perfectly identify damage locations and extents. Therefore, the proposed method is effective for the structural damage identification.

It is difficult for the traditional methods to identify uncertain damage problems caused by noise. Therefore, a gray cloud rule generator algorithm based on cloud model and modal strain energy is presented to solve the problems. Cloud model can simulate both randomness and fuzziness with fixed parameters. Therefore, it is applicable for the uncertain damage problems. First, modal strain energy and modal strain energy dissipation ratio index are introduced. Then, numerical characteristics of a cloud model are described and some cloud generators are analyzed. Finally, a gray cloud rule is proposed and the gray cloud rule generator algorithm based on the gray cloud rule generator and modal strain energy is developed. The interference of uncertain noise is reduced through a large number of cloud droplets. A two-dimensional truss structure model has been used to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. The results indicate that the proposed gray cloud rule generator algorithm is applicable to identify the uncertain damage caused by noise, and the identification results of the proposed method are relatively better than those of modal strain energy dissipation ratio index.

In order to solve structural multi-damage identification problems, a damage detection method based on modal strain energy equivalence index (MSEEI) is presented. First, an accurate expression of modal strain energy (MSE) before and after damage occurs is given. Then, according to the energy equivalence theory that the change in MSE caused by the damage should be equivalent to the energy dissipation caused by the same damage, an energy equivalence equation is deduced. Finally, four roots of the energy equivalence equation are found and a MSEEI is obtained from the four roots. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MSEEI method can identify structural damage locations and extent with good accuracy. Identification precision of the proposed method is clearly better than that of the modal strain energy dissipation ratio index (MSEDRI) method.

The research to identify and locate the damage to the engineering structure mainly aimed at some simple structure forms before, such as beam and framework. Damage shows changes of local characteristics of the signal, while wavelet analysis can reflect local damage traits of the signal in time domain and frequency domain. For confirming the validity and applicability of structural damage identification methods, wavelet analysis is used to spatial structural damage detection. The wavelet analysis technique provides new ideas and methods of spatial steel structural damage detection. Based on the theory of wavelet singularity detection,with the injury signal of modal strain energy as structural damage index,the mixing of the modal strain energy and wavelet method to identify and locate the damage to the spatial structure is considered. The multiplicity of the bars and nodes can be taken into account, and take the destructive and nondestructive modal strain energy of Kiewitt-type reticulated shell with 40m span as an example of numerical simulation,the original damage signal and the damage signal after wavelet transformation is compared. The location of the declining stiffness identified by the maximum of wavelet coefficients,analyzed as signal by db1 wavelet,and calculate the graph relation between coefficients of the wavelets and the damage to the structure by discrete or continuous wavelet transform, and also check the accuracy degree of this method with every damage case. Finally,the conclusion is drawn that the modal strain energy and wavelet method to identify and locate the damage to the long span reticulated shell is practical, effective and accurate, that the present method as a reliable and practical way can be adopted to detect the single and several locations of damage in structures.

A novel structural damage localization method based on modal strain energy changes is proposed. The proposed method does not utilize the first several modes together as usual but selectively makes use of some sensitive modes for each element. Both the magnitude of normalized elemental modal strain energy and the capability of each element to resist identification uncertainties are considered to determine the sensitive modes. Elements’ capability to resist identification uncertainties is calculated by using the Monte Carlo method. Based on determined sensitive modes, an in-turn damage-checking process is employed to judge the damage state of each element. A typical planar truss is numerically analyzed. The results show that the proposed method is more effective than that based on modal strain energy change ratio even when using the first several modes together as usual. Furthermore, by utilizing some sensitive modes only, the proposed method becomes much more robust, making damage localization more easy and reliable.
