Comparative Study of Two Optimization Methods for Structural Damage Severity Estimation

This paper presents comparative assessment of the performance characteristics of two optimization algorithms, namely a deterministic nonlinear least squares (NLS) optimization and a stochastic adaptive simulated (ASA) annealing global optimization, implemented in the context of a two-stage structur...
