摘要
Failures in structures and machine elements can be prevented through early detection of fatigue cracks using various nondestructive testing methods. Vibration testing forms one of the most effective and recent one among these methods. There are mainly two approaches to crack detection through vibration testing: open crack model and breathing crack model. The present study is based on breathing crack model, in which the nonlinear vibration response under harmonic excitation is formulated through Volterra series and higher order frequency response functions. Bilinear stiffness characteristic of a cracked cantilever beam is approximated by a truncated polynomial series and response amplitudes of various harmonics are investigated for both qualitative and quantitative characterization. A new procedure is suggested whereby the presence of a breathing crack in a structure can be first identified and then the severity of the damage can be estimated through harmonic probing.
