The Existence of crack in a structure leads to local flexibility and changes  the stiffness and dynamic behavior of the structure. The dynamic behavior of the cracked structure depends on the depth and the location of the crack. Hence, the changes in the dynamic behavior in the structure due to the crack can be used for identifying the location and depth of the crack. In this study the first th...

This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment of cracked teeth, and explores common clinical examples of cracked teeth, such as cusp fractures, fractures into tooth furcations, and root fractures. This article provides alternative definitions of terms such as cracked teeth, complete and incomplete fractures and crack lines, and explores the scientific rationale for dental terminology commonl...

AIM To assess the survival rate of root filled cracked teeth over a 2-year period in a tertiary institute. METHODOLOGY Forty-nine patients who had root canal treatment completed on their cracked teeth at the National Dental Centre (Singapore) were recalled for a 2-year review. Collected review data included presence of periodontal pocketing, sinus tract and swelling associated with the teeth....

This article presents a new analysis of the vibration characteristics open-edge cracks for graded moving beams under thermal load. The material property gradient is based on distribution power law in direction beam thickness. equation obtained depending precept Hamilton and resolved by extension Galerkin’s approach. A rotational spring used to represent cracking beam. effects axial velocity, in...

Damage detection in structures and systems is essential for monitoring parameters that can affect their integrity. This paper evaluates the efficiency of four damage indices (DIs) commonly used with temporal wave signals. The root mean square deviation, absolute percentage covariance, correlation coefficient deviation DIs are presented, a normalization then proposed. An Euler-Bernoulli beam as ...

The cracks alter the physical and modal properties of beam, i.e., stiffness, damping, natural frequency, mode shapes, and, in turn, dynamic response beam changes to a considerable extent. condition monitoring beams is essential avoid its catastrophic failure applications. A basic criterion has been followed for parameters like frequencies, stiffness possible crack detection. In contrast, dampin...

This paper provides an exact approach for free transverse vibration analysis of a simply supported non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beam with an arbitrary number of concentrated cracks. The equation of motion is normalized and written based on a set of dimensionless parameters. The general solution is obtained based on the Bessel functions. The differential equation is modified to include cracks. Th...
