Stiffness Estimation of Cracked Beams Based on Nonlinear Stress Distributions Near the Crack
The crack presence causes nonlinear stress distributions along the sections of a beam, which change the neutral axis of the sections and further affect the beam stiffness. Thus, this paper presents a method for the stiffness estimation of cracked beams based on the stress distributions. First, regio...
