Abstract
En 中文
Structural damage identification based on physical models is often transformed into an optimization problem that minimizes the difference between measurement information of structure being monitored and the model prediction in the parametric space. However, the objective function in this context often exhibits multimodality, involving high-dimensional variables due to the reliance on finite element models for damage identification. These features pose challenges to optimization algorithms, where entrapment in local solutions can lead to false positives and false negatives in damage identification. In this research, we propose a reinforcement learning based multi-swarm optimizer to tackle such challenges in pursuit of a small yet diverse solution set that can capture the true damage scenario as one of the solutions. The proposed method leverages the flexibility of the particle swarm optimizer and incorporates novel strategies of metaheuristics to realize targeted improvement. To enable the particle swarm to adaptively select the appropriate search strategy based on the current environment, we adopt the learning automata technique, which sidesteps the need for reward strategy selection that is usually ad hoc at each step of the search. The integration harnesses the automatic learning and self-adaptation capabilities of learning automata, enabling the particles to navigate based on environmental signals. This leads to accumulated probabilities tied to advantageous movements, fostering an adaptive exploration of particles in the
