One unique feature of neural networks is that they have to be trained to function. In developing an iterative neural network technique for model updating of structures, it has been shown that the number of training samples required increases exponentially as the number of parameters to be updated increases. Training the neural network using these samples becomes a time-consuming task. In this study, we investigate the use of orthogonal arrays for the sample selection. A comparison between this orthogonal arrays method and four other methods is illustrated by two numerical examples. One is the update of the felxural rigidities of a simply supported beam and the other is the update of the material properties and the boundary conditions of a circular plate. The results indicate that the orthogonal arrays method can significantly reduce the number of training samples without affecting too much the accuracy of the neural network prediction.
