description In order to solve the problem of structural damage location and degree identification, the weighted mean of vectors algorithm (INFO), a high-performance optimization algorithm, was first introduced to identify structural damage. By comparison with the refined genetic algorithm (RGA), the accuracy and advantages of INFO are analyzed and evaluated. An objective function is constructed by combining the dynamic response transfer ratio without modal analysis. The INFO and RGA algorithms are used to optimize the objective function for damage identification. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the three damage identification methods. The results show that the identification effect of the INFO algorithm can reach nearly 100% without noise influence, and the anti-noise ability is the strongest. Among the three algorithms, the damage identification accuracy of the INFO algorithm is the highest, followed by the RGA algorithm and the GA algorithm.
