Improvement and Application of Immune Genetic Algorithm in Structural Damage Identification

In order to solve structural multi-damage identification problem, a two-stage method based on Bayesian theory and immune genetic algorithm (IGA) is presented. Firstly, structural modal strain energy and frequency are considered as two kinds of information sources, and Bayesian theory is utilized to integrate the two information sources and preliminarily detect structural damage locations. Then, immune genetic algorithm is used to identify structural damage extents. Considering the convergence rate of basic IGA is still not very good, some improved strategies, such as culture vaccine, two termination conditions, are presented. It is shown that the two-stage method can precisely identify structural damage locations and extent, and the calculated results of the proposed improved IGA are obviously better than those of both the basic IGA and simple genetic algorithm.

As an optimal method, Genetic Algorithm has obvious advantages, which is based on the nature selection and genetic transmission mechanisms such as high collateral,stochastic,self-reliance. but when in practical application, it usually has problems of premature convergence and result swing near optimum value.To solve the problem of premature convergence, the method called Monte-Carlo is adopted to prevent the algorithm from local optimal, and to the problem of result swing, the method changing the hunting zone dynamically is proposed to improve the accuracy of the optimal result.
