Abstract


During service, many composite structures are exposed to different kinds of damage in terms of crack. Hence, it is essential to detect the source of crack in early stage before drastic collapse. The appearance of crack will deteriorate the cross section of the composite structure resulting in reduction in the local stiffness. In this study, the vibration characteristics are considered to allocate the crack size and the position for cracked fiber reinforced composite cantilever beam. The structure element is displayed as an Euler Bernoulli beam with two sections connected through a torsional spring. Four compatibility conditions are described at the crack position. The local flexibility generated from the presence of a crack is investigated for fiber reinforced composite structure and it will be correlated to the crack size and location. The fundamental resonant frequencies are calculated and the mode shapes are plotted for crack damage detection. The impact of crack size and position, ply-orientation as well as volume fraction on the frequencies and modes is investigated.
