The objective of this study is to design an efficient artificial neural network (ANN) architecture
in order to predict the crack growth direction in multiple crack geometry. Nonlinear logistic …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of methodologies and technologies in the
domain of dynamic vibration of cracked structures. At first, the developments of work till date …

The critical mode I stress intensity factor obtained from fracture tests on laboratory
specimens is often used as fracture toughness in brittle and quasi-brittle materials. However …

When the loading or the geometry of a structure is not symmetrical about the axis of the
crack, the rupture occurs in mixed mode loading, and the crack does not propagate in a …

A simple method for calculating stress intensity factors of transverse cracked shaft subjected
to tension, bending and shear is introduced. New formulae of the stress intensity factors in …

Finite element analysis (FEA) combined with the concepts of linear elastic fracture
mechanics (LEFM) provides a practical and convenient means to study the fracture and …

To develop a robust fault diagnostic tool based on genetic algorithm and fuzzy logic, the
current research explores the use of dynamic responses of cracked and intact cantilever …

The influence of cracks on the dynamic behaviour of a cracked cantilever beam with
rectangular cross section is discussed in this work. Analytical and experimental …

The paper presents a theoretical method to investigate the multiple scattering of shear
waves and strain energy density in a semi-infinite slab of functionally graded materials with …

In this paper, a numerical study on the structural behaviour of three-dimensional cracked
structures is presented. The compliance matrix of the cracked element is given by the sum of …
