An energy-based numerical model is developed to investigate the in#uence of cracks on structural dynamic characteristics during the vibration of a beam with open crack(s). Upon the determination of strain energy in the cracked beam, the equivalent bending sti!ness over the beam length is computed. T
A damage detection and assessment algorithm is developed based on system identification using a finite element model and the measured modal response of a structure. The measurements are assumed to be sparse and polluted with noise. A change in an element constitutive property from a baseline value i
The dynamics of a cracked, simply supported uniform beam is treated for either bending or axial vibrations. The crack is simulated by an equivalent spring, connecting the two segments of the beam. Analysis of this approximate model results in algebraic equations which relate the natural frequencies
It is known that the e!ect of a single crack in an axially vibrating thin rod is to cause the nodes of the mode shapes move toward the crack. This paper is an analytical/experimental investigation of the analogous problem for a thin beam in bending vibration. The monotonicity property linking change
In this paper, we describe a numerical method for determining the location of a crack in a beam of varying depth when the lowest three natural frequencies of the cracked beam are known. The crack is modelled as a rotational spring and graphs of spring sti!ness versus crack location are plotted for e
