The invention relates to a structure damage identification method of a quasi-Newton iteration nonlinear RCD class
algorithm, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, extracting
modal parameters of a structure before and after damage, and building a
mathematical model of the structure according to the extracted
modal parameters; s2, performing second-order
sensitivity analysis on the structural model, analyzing the influence of structural parameter change on structural response, and establishing a nonlinear
sensitivity equation based on a
sensitivity analysis result; s3, constructing a linear optimization model for damage identification by utilizing the nonlinear
sensitivity equation obtained in the step S2 and combining a
sparse regularization method; on the basis of the constructed optimization model, proposing an optimization
algorithm for solving the model; s4, solving an NIT
omega-RCD theta
algorithm based on the nonlinear optimization model in the step S3 in combination with a Broyden rank-1 correction Newton method and an RCD type rapid optimization algorithm; the problems that an existing
linear model cannot fully consider the nonlinear characteristics of the structure, the recognition result is likely to be inaccurate, and the damage recognition reliability is affected are solved.
