Free Vibration Analysis and Damage Identification of Beam-Like Structures Containing a Crack Based on the Extended Finite Element Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A scheme is presented for the free vibration analysis of beam-like structures containing a crack with the extended finite element method (XFEM). The scheme is compared with the traditional scheme with the finite element method. The natural frequency of a cantilever beam is analyzed using both the methods and the results are compared. A new method for the damage identification of a cantilever beam containing a crack is then presented.
