Structural Damage Identification by Using the Spectral Element Model and the Newton-Raphson Method

스텍트럴요소 모델과 Newton-Raphson 법을 이용한 구조손상규명

In this paper, a nonlinear structural damage identification algorithm is derived by taking into account the non-linearity of damage. The structural damage identification analyses are conducted by using the direct method and the Newton-Raphson method. It is found that, the Newton-Raphson method in general provides the better damage identification results when compared with the results obtained by the direct method.
