RESUMO

Abstract For many years, several crack detection attempts have been using measurements of the structure's modal parameters. One of the easiest is to measure and correlate the change in natural frequencies to cracks. The direct and inverse problem have been discussed in literature. However, the inverse problem, being addressed in this paper, is a challenging one, where it starts by measuring certain structural properties and estimate the corresponding crack location and size. Unlike previous studies that utilizing natural frequencies from one direction, both axial and bending natural frequencies are used together to determine crack size and location, without prior estimation of natural frequencies of the intact beam. The results obtained showing promising capabilities in crack detection.
