The structure is discretixed and represented by a system of linear differential equations. Cracks are modelled as local flexibilities. Application on a 4-node rotor with a circumferential crack illustrates the dynamic crack arrest. The depth of the crack determines the local stiffness introduced by
## Abstract Crack propagation in concrete structures is a very complicated process, and the distribution of cracks may significantly affect the behaviour of the structures under timeβdependent loading. If enough damage or extensive cracks exist in a structure, strengthening or repair using external
