This study is based on cracks that occurred in metal beams obtained under controlled fatigue-crack propagation. The beams were clamped in a heavy vise and struck in order to obtain a clean impulse modal response. Spectrograms of the free-decay responses showed a time drift of the frequency and dampi

β¦ Synopsis
Structures are weakened by cracks. When the crack size increases in course of time, the structure becomes weaker than its previous condition. Finally, the structure may breakdown due to a minute crack. Therefore, crack detection and classification is a very important issue. In this study, free and forced vibration analysis of a cracked beam were performed in order to identify the crack in a cantilever beam. Single-and two-edge cracks were evaluated. The study results suggest that free vibration analysis provides suitable information for the detection of single and two cracks, whereas forced vibration can detect only the single crack condition. However, dynamic response of the forced vibration better describes changes in crack depth and location than the free vibration in which the difference between natural frequencies corresponding to a change in crack depth and location only is a minor effect.

In this paper, the free and forced vibration of a fixed-free Euler-Bernoulli beam in contact with a rigid cylindrical foundation is studied. One end of the beam is clamped at the top of the rigid cylindrical foundation and the other end is free. The vibrations are separated into upward and downward
In this paper, the method of superposition or the Gorman method is employed to obtain an analytical solution for free and forced vibrations of cantilever plates carrying point masses. The free lateral vibration analysis is carried out by employing five building blocks-four for the cantilever plate a
The dynamic behaviour of a beam with numerous transverse cracks is studied. Based on the equivalent rotational spring model of crack and the transfer matrix for beam, the dynamic sti!ness matrix method has been developed for spectral analysis of forced vibration of a multiple cracked beam.

Equations of motion of a rotating cantilever beam are derived based on a new dynamic modelling method in this paper. The derived equations (governing stretching and bending motions), which are coupled through gyroscopic coupling terms, are all linear, so they can be directly used for the vibration a
