Structural damage identification based on cuckoo search algorithm

A method for structural damage identification based on cuckoo search algorithm is presented. The nonlinear objective function for the damage identification problem is established by utilizing modal assurance criteria and structural natural frequencies. Then, the cuckoo search algorithm is adopted to detect local damages by solving the objective function. Two numerical examples are studied to investigate the efficiency and correctness of the proposed method. Meanwhile, a laboratory work is conducted for further verification. The simulation and experiment results show that the present method can produce more accurate damage identification results even under measurement noise, comparing with genetic algorithm.
