“…Based on the optimization ability of the intelligent algorithms, these methods can simulate measured parameters and then determine the finite element (FE) model that can reflect the actual structure condition, which enables these methods to identify the locations and degrees of damage accurately. Damage detection methods have been reported to use algorithms, including the artificial neural network (ANN) (Wu et al, 1992;Parka et al, 2009), support vector machine (SVM) (Song et al, 2006;He and Yan, 2007), and genetic algorithm (GA) (Mares and Surace, 1996;He and Hwang, 2006;Gomes and Silva, 2008;Vakil-Baghmisheh et al, 2008;Meruane and Heylen, 2011). However, the ANN and SVM require neutral training, in which a large amount of data is demanded.…”
