Possible yielding of the cross-section of a structure, which may arise as a result of external actions or the (micro)defects, might significantly decrease the safety margin of the considered structure. Since the cross-section yielding affects the structure stiffness, the dynamic characteristics (eigenvalues and eigenvectors) might be significantly different then the ones of the original structure. The measurement of the changes of the dynamic parameters may provide the information necessary to identify the load causing the yielding of the cross-section and further the yielding index (which may be calculated when the load causing the yielding is know) enables the evaluation of the structure safety margin. This paper presents some new results of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) [2] application in the identification of the load causing partial yielding of simple frames.
