Structural health monitoring is one of the most promising research areas in the fields of smart materials and structures. This paper proposes a genetic algorithms-based approach for damage identification of plate-like structure using scattered Lamb waves, which can identify either the damage location or the extent simultaneously. In this study, structural damage identification is formulated as an optimization problem. Combining with the scattered Lamb wave model, genetic algorithms adaptively identify the damage location and extent by minimizing the difference between the computed analytical results and measured information. To improve computational efficacy, a micro-genetic algorithms is adopted to accelerate convergence. Numerical simulation study demonstrates the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method.
