	This paper presents the application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) in the identification of damage (location, extent) in simple laboratory beam structure. The assessment of the state of a beams relies on the comparison of the structure eigenfrequencies obtained from the systems with additional masses placed in different nodes without knowledge of the natural frequencies of undamaged structures.
