Abstract

 In this article, damage to 2D/3D truss structures is identified using the Coati Optimization Algorithm (COA), a metaheuristic technique. The fundamental idea of COA was to imitate two of the coatis' natural behaviors: (i) hunting and attacking iguanas, and (ii) escaping predators. Moreover, by using natural frequencies from finite element analysis for truss structure to set up the objective function, the final results prove the effectiveness of this algorithm in solving real-world structures.
