The presence of a crack in a structural member introduces a local flexibility that affects its
vibration response. Moreover, the crack will open and close in time depending on the …

Propagating fatigue cracks can have detrimental effects on the reliability of rotating
machinery. An early crack warning can considerably extend the durability of these very …

In this paper a simple method for crack identification in beam structures based on wavelet
analysis is presented. The fundamental vibration mode of a cracked cantilever beam is …

A method for detection of multiple open cracks in a slender Euler–Bernoulli beams is
presented based on frequency measurements. The method is based on the approach given …

In this paper, a method for crack identification in plates based on wavelet analysis is
presented. The case of an all-over part-through crack parallel to one edge of the plate is …

A method for crack identification in double-cracked beams based on wavelet analysis is
presented. The fundamental vibration mode of a double-cracked cantilever beam is …

In this paper the problem of crack depth and position identification in frame structures is
examined, using eigenfrequency measurements. It has been established that a crack has an …

Damage identification problem involves detection, localization and assessment of the extent
of damage in a structure so that the remaining life could be predicted. Visual or …

The influence of a transverse open crack on the mechanical impedance of cracked beams
under various boundary conditions is investigated both analytically and experimentally. It is …

The paper presents a survey of damage indicators which can be used for diagnose of
fatigue cracks in constructional elements. The advantages and disadvantages of the …
