A New Damage Detection Method: Big Bang-Big Crunch (BB-BC) Algorithm

The present paper aims to explore damage assessment methodology based on the changes in dynamic parameters properties of vibration of a structural system. The finite-element model is used to apply at an element level. Reduction of the element stiffness is considered for structural damage. A procedur...
