Parameter identification and damage detection using evolutionary programming

This study develops a general approach based on evolutionary programming (EP) as a backcalculation algorithm for structural nondestructive evaluation (NDE). Although EP has been proven to be robust in finding the global optimum, the speed of convergence could be slow for certain problems. This thesi...
