| Abstract | ||
| This article proposes a new methodology for identifying beam damage based on changes in modal parameters using the Double Stage Extended Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (DSEIPSO) technique. A finite element code is first developed in MATLAB to model an ideal beam structure based on classical beam theory. An experimental study is then performed on a laboratory-scale beam, and the modal parameters are extracted. An improved version of the PSO algorithm is employed to update the finite element model based on the experimental measurements, representing the real structure and forming the baseline model for all further damage detection. Subsequently, structural damages are introduced in the experimental beam. The DSEIPSO algorithm is then utilized to optimize the objective function, formulated using the obtained mode shapes and the natural frequencies from the damaged and undamaged beams to identify the exact location and extent of the damage. Experimentally obtained results from a simple cantilever beam are used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The illustrated results show the effectiveness of the proposed method for structural damage detection in the SHM field. | ||
