Abstract In this study, the linear free vibration of intact and cracked functionally graded material plates is investigated numerically experimentally. The experimental work limited to isotropic materials. numerical based on finite element, where a code developed obtain natural frequencies first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) using MATLAB software. Also, model through-cracked FGM plate A...

in this paper, the crack detection and depth ratio estimation method are presented in beamlikestructures using elman networks. for this purpose, by using the frequencies of modes asinput, crack depth ratio of each element was detected as output. performance of the proposedmethod was evaluated by using three numerical scenarios of crack for fixed-simply supportedbeam consisting of a single crack...

Abstract A simple method is proposed to model the open cracked beam structures. In this method, crack is modeled as a beam element. Hence cracked beam can be assumed to be a beam with stepped cross sections, and problem of determining natural frequency and mode shape of cracked beam, can be solved as determining these characteristics for a beam with different length and cross section. With this...

In order to check and eliminate the cracked eggs quickly and exactly in the process of egg products, a nondestructive testing system for eggshells based on digital signal processor (DSP) was established. The system utilized a TMS320VC33 DSP as a hardware platform, and has many functions such as controlling knock-equipment, sampling and processing the acoustics signals, judging the cracked-shell...

In this work, a new approach for forecasting the remaining useful lifespan (RUL) of mechanical structure is described, which combines phase-field method (PFM) technology and neural network (NN) technology. Firstly, brittle fracture damage model established according to PFM. And sample data, are strain value at observation locations model, obtained by numerical simulation. Then, set input into N...

Cracked and un-cracked Brazilian disc specimens subjected to diametral compression were used for conducting fracture toughness and tensile strength experiments on a polymer concrete (PC) material. The value of mode I fracture toughness (KIc) was determined from the center- cracked Brazilian disc and the indirect tensile strength (σt) was obtained from the un-cracked Brazilian disc specimen. The...
