Sumario:Structural health monitoring is an important research field being investigated around the globe. In recent years, meta-heuristics are being used to solve the complex inverse problem of structural damage assessment. In this work, a novel approach depending on a new meta-heuristic and effective objective function formulation is proposed. Firstly, by considering some research shortcomings, a triple modal-based objective function combination is employed to improve the precision of damage identification. Secondly, a new self-adaptive algorithm which combines the powerful features of the stochastic fractal search with improved mechanisms into one framework, is developed. Moreover, the concept of quasi-oppositional learning is utilized to improve the overall exploration in both initial and executive stages. The new algorithm, called the self- adaptive quasi-oppositional stochastic fractal search (SA-QSFS), is benchmarked using well-known benchmark functions and applied on the IASC-ASCE FE model for damage assessment. Various damage scenarios are studied using partial modal data and noisy conditions. The proposed technique demonstrates outstanding performance and can be recommended to solve continuous optimization problems.
