Nonlinear Input Power Flow Analysis of a Plate with a Breathing Crack

Article Preview

Abstract:

Plates are commonly used in engineering structures. However crack is the most common form of damages in the plate structures. The crack in the plate will open and close during vibrational cycle, making the cracked structure with nonlinear dynamic characteristics. Based on vibrational power flow theory, the nonlinear dynamic analysis of a plate structure is carried out. The contact elements are used to simulate the nonlinear behavior of the breathing crack. Aiming to study the input power characteristics and the super harmonic resonance of a breathing cracked plate which is under the resonant excitation. By the finite element calculation, the structural input power curve is analyzed, which provides a theoretical basis for the damage identification of cracked structures.
