Abstract: This paper investigates the sound power radiated from a cracked plate. The sound power is obtained by using a lumped parameters model-based acoustics theory and vibration responses obtained by using the finite element method. It is shown that the vibration mode shapes and crack angle are closely related to the sound radiation characteristics, which can be applied to detect damages such as the cracks generated within a structure.

Abstract: In this paper, a fast Fourier transforms (FFT)-based spectral analysis method (SAM) is proposed for the dynamic analysis of spectral element models subjected to the non-zero initial conditions. To evaluate the proposed SAM, the spectral element model for the simply supported Bernoulli-Euler beam is considered as an example problem. The accuracy of the proposed SAM is evaluated by comparing the dynamic responses obtained by SAM with the exact analytical solutions.
