An effective damage identification procedure using model updating technique and multi-objective optimization algorithm for structures made of functionally graded materials

The application of multi-objective optimization algorithms in the field of structural damage identification has gained increasing attention in the past few years. Nevertheless, their application to the damage detection problems of composite structures is still very limited. In this regard, the article presents the first attempt to implement a multi-objective optimization framework based on multi-objective cuckoo search (MOCS) algorithm for...
