Structural damage, whether visible or hidden, is an inevitable occurrence in all structures, machines, and tools, arising from factors such as machining processes, wear, impact. Over the years, significant efforts structural dynamics have been devoted to evaluating reconciling numerical models with experimental data accurately detect quantify damage. This study presents a comprehensive approach identifying quantifying damage multilayer composite beams by first assessing global modal frequency differences between undamaged damaged structures using Frequency Response Function (FRF) method. These results are then utilized various metaheuristic optimization algorithms precisely extent of The focus this work evaluate effectiveness three algorithms: African Vulture Optimization Algorithm (AVOA), Salp Swarm (SSA), Whale (WOA). tested on structure determine their accuracy computational efficiency
