A Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on Free Vibration Vehavior of a Cantilever Beam with a Breathing Crack

In this paper the free nonlinear vibration behavior of a cracked cantilever beam is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. For simplicity, the dynamic behavior of a cracked beam vibrating at its first mode is simulated using a simple single degree of freedom lumped parameter system. The...
