description

Damage identification is of primary concern in many fields of civil engineering. Usually the damage is detected from the variation of structural response induced. When the damage level is very low, incipient damage, this variation is hardly seen. In the present work is studied the case of not well spaced frequency systems. Identification problem is formulated as a minimum problem of a functional expressed in term of damage parameters. The minimum problem is solved by heuristic algorithm, ACORL.
