The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) application

Abstract

In the paper, a method of determining the structural damage using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is presented. PSO is a famous algorithm to search optimization. Damaged structural system members are detected by the PSO through the frequency change before and after the damage.
