Identification of Frame Geometry and Boundary Conditions from Free-Vibration Modal Signatures
This study presents an innovative approach for unveiling the hidden relationships between natural frequency patterns and structural parameters in grid-form frames. By analyzing vibrational characteristics, we determine key features, namely the number of vertical beams, boundary conditions, and aspect ratios. Extensive finite element analysis generates a dataset, mapping the natural frequencies as features against structural parameters as labels reveals distinct, streamlined clusters in the feature hyperspace, highlighting an underlying order in the system's dynamics. An advanced classification and interpolation model navigates these spectral trajectories to predict structural parameters accurately, even in the presence of damage or different materials. This study offers new insights into the intrinsic dynamics of complex structures, inviting further exploration into the subtle interplay between vibrational characteristics and structural identity. These findings open new avenues for research, potentially transforming the understanding of structural behavior in practical engineering applications.

Validating Model Robustness
The model demonstrates high accuracy in predicting structural parameters even in the presence of simulated damage, with classification errors for N and BC remaining zero across all tested damage severities. While damage severity did correlate with minor increases in AR prediction errors, the model consistently provided acceptably accurate results.
Furthermore, validation against structures made of stainless steel and aluminum showed continued high classification accuracy for N and BC, and close agreement for AR predictions, confirming the model's robustness across varied material properties and structural conditions. This highlights the model's reliability in practical engineering applications where material and structural uncertainties are common.
Unveiling Structural Identity
Our pattern-based methodology marks a fundamental shift from conventional iterative inverse analysis, which is prone to convergence issues and modeling inaccuracies. By learning the direct relationship between vibrational signatures and structural identity through a precomputed, data-driven map, our framework offers a robust and computationally efficient pathway for parameter identification.
This transforms a traditionally challenging inverse problem into a streamlined pattern-recognition task, providing a universally applicable foundation for rapid and scalable structural assessment. This approach significantly advances non-destructive evaluation and structural health monitoring, enabling more resilient and predictable structural performance across various engineering applications.
