Application of neurocomputing in the parametric identification using dynamic responses of structural elements – selected problems

Some problems of neurocomputing in the dynamics of structures are presented: 1) damage detection using wave propagation, 2) updating of portal frames finite element models, 3) detection of the void and additional mass in cantilever plates, 4) neural network modelling of an ''artificial boundary condition''. The analysed problems are related to both data prepared by computational systems and that taken from experimental evidence.
