Abstract This paper aims to establish a damage identification methodology, called the Frequencies' Ratio Surfaces Intersection method (FRSI-method), for predicting not only the location and depth of the crack but also the crack orientation in a circular cross section beam. Two new criterions %Δicracked and %ψi,jcracked that consider only the ratio of the natural frequencies of the cracked beam are introduced and discussed in order to detect the crack parameters. In order to avoid worse diagnostic, it is demonstrated that a robust identification of crack location is possible by investigating the emergence of extra antiresonance peaks on Frequency Response… More >
