ABSTRACT
Moving force based structural damage identification has been widely studied in recently years (Zhu & Law 2015). Most of such methods use structural Finite Element Model (FEM) updating technique (e.g., Kim & Kawatani 2008; Li & Law 2012), in which the number of Degree-Of-Freedoms (DOFs) of the model and updating parameters affect both the identification accuracy and efficiency. There are two possible approaches to solve this problem, i.e., using high performance FEM (He & Zhu 2013) and locating damages via special signal processing (Hester & Gonzáleza 2012) firstly and then selecting updating parameters limited to the damage regions only.
