Laminated composite straight and curved beams are frequently used in various engineering
applications. This work attempts to review most of the research done in recent years (1989 …

This paper discusses a structural damage detection technique based on wavelet analysis of
spatially distributed structural response measurements. The premise of the technique is that …

Background A Evolution of material taken place for ages and in today's world even faster.
The new concept faces a new set of challenges and is to execute in the real-world …

This paper presents the first attempt of an application of the wavelet theory for the crack
identification of structures. As a case study, we consider the crack identification using the …

Nonlinear vibration of beams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) containing an
open edge crack is studied in this paper based on Timoshenko beam theory and von …

An important rotor fault, which can lead to catastrophic failure if undetected, is fatigue crack
in the shaft. The cracked rotor problem received the first attention in 1970, since when the …

Composite beams are increasingly used in aerospace, automobile, and other applications.
Crack is the most common defect in structures during its service life. The cracked composite …

This study is an investigation of the effects of cracks on the dynamical characteristics of a
cantilever composite beam, made of graphite fibre-reinforced polyamide. The finite element …

Classical nonlinear vibration methods used for structural damage detection are often based
on higher-and sub-harmonic generation. However, nonlinearities arising from sources other …

The nonlinear vibration analysis of cracked structures could be a suitable indicator for
diagnosing defects. When breathing cracks appear on the beam, its behavior can be …
