Abstract

Structural damage identification using piezoelectric impedance/admittance measurements of a piezoelectric transducer can be converted into an optimization problem that minimizes the difference between experimental measurements and prediction in the parametric space where damage locations and severities are treated as unknown variables. However, the number of unknowns is large. Meanwhile, in practical situations the location of damage occurrence is usually limited. In this research, we propose a multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm featuring a sparse population generation enhancement to tackle the challenge. The main idea is to design a masking procedure, so the damage location identified is sparse that fits the nature of damage identification. This approach is implemented to experimental testing for demonstration and validation.
