Vibration Analysis of Cracked Composite Bending-torsion Beams for Damage Diagnosis

An analytical model of cracked composite beams vibrating in coupled bending-torsion is developed. The beam is made of fiber-reinforced composite with fiber angles in each ply aligned in the same direction. The crack is assumed open. The local flexibility concept is implemented to model the open crac...
