CRACK LOCALIZATION IN TIMOSHENKO BEAM BASED ON THE ANTI-RESONANT FREQUENCY
An alternative technique for crack localization in Timoshenko beam based on the first antiresonant frequencies is proposed in this paper. Subsequently, the proposed method is verified by a numerical example of a simply supported beam with a crack. The effect of crack size on the anti-resonant frequencies is also investigated. The position of the crack of the simple supported beam can be determined by the anti-resonance technique. It is found that the proposed technique is effective and an appropriate use of anti-resonant frequencies may avoid non-uniqueness of the damage localization problem, which occurs in symmetrical beams when only natural frequencies are employed.
