In this paper, we studied about the dynamic behavior of a cracked rotating cantilever beam. The influences of a rotating angular velocity, the crack depth and the crack position on the dynamic behavior of a cracked cantilever beam have been studied by the numerical method. The equation of motion is derived by using the Lagrange's equation. The cracked cantilever beam is modeled by the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The crack is assumed to be in the first mode of fracture and to be always opened during the vibrations. The lateral tip-displacement and the axial tip-deflection of a rotating cantilever beam is more sensitive to the rotating angular velocity than the depth and position of crack. Totally, as the crack depth is increased, the natural frequency of a rotating cantilever beam is decreased in the first and second mode of vibration. When the crack depth is constant, the natural frequencies of a rotating cantilever beam are proportional to the rotating angular velocity in the each direction.

Abdi's numerical method(ref.13) for representing a stress singularity by shifting the mid-side nodes of isoparametric elements is reviewed. A simple technique to obtain the optimal position of the mid-side nodes in quadratic isoparametric finite element is presented. From this technique we can directly obtain the position of the side-nodes adjacent to the crack tip. It is also observed that the present technique provides good accuracy for the expression of the opening displacement and the determination of the mid-side nodes for more wide range of material properties than that obtained by Abdicant the finite element method is applied to determine stress intensity factors for pressurized crack perpendicular to and terminating at the interface of two bonded dissimilar materials. A proper definition for stress intensity factors of a crack perpendicular to bimaterial interface is provided. It is based upon a near-tip displacement solutions on the crack surface for interface crack between two dissimilar materials. Numerical testing is carried out with the eight-node and six-node elements. The results obtained are compared with the previous solutions.

To study the influence on fracture properties of reinforced concrete wedge splitting test specimens by the addition of reinforcement, and the restriction of steel bars on crack propagation, 7 groups reinforced concrete specimens of different reinforcement position and 1 group plain concrete specimens with the same size factors were designed and constructed for the tests. Based on the double-K fracture criterion and tests, fracture toughness calculation model which was suitable for reinforced concrete wedge splitting tensile specimens has been obtained. The results show that: the value of initial craking load Pini and unstable fracture load Pun decreases gradually with the distance of reinforcement away from specimens's top. Compared with plain concrete specimens, addition of steel bar can reduce the value of initial fracture toughness KIini, but significantly increase the value of the critical effective crack length ac and unstable fracture toughness KIun. For tensional concrete member, the effect of anti-cracking by reinforcement was mainly acted after cracking, the best function of preventing fracture initiation was when the steel bar was placed in the middle of the crack, and when the reinforcement was across the crack and located away from crack tip, it plays the best role in inhibiting the extension of crack.

The material deficiencies in the form of pre-existing defects can initiated cracks and fractures. The stress distribution and fatigue crack initiation life of engineering materials may be associated with the size, the shape and the relative location of defects contained in the component. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of arbitrarily located hole defect around the rivet hole of a wing section in monolithic aluminum and Al/GFRP laminates under cyclic bending moment during a service load. The stress distribution and the fatigue crack initiation behavior near a rivet hole of on the relationships between stress concentration factor ($K_t$) and relative position of defects were considered. The test results indicated the features of different stress field. Therefore, the stress concentration factor ($K_t$) and the fatigue crack initiation behavior was illustrated different behavior according to each position of hole defect around the rivet hole in monolithic aluminum and Al/GFRP laminates.

Constant ΔK fatigue crack growth tests were performed by applying an intermediate multiple overload for S45C steel. The purpose of the present study is to investigate effects of specimen thickness at various baseline stress intensity factor range levels (ΔK(sub)b), overload application position (a/W) and overload application frequency (OL(sub)HZ) on fatigue crack growth retardation behavior. The principal results are summarized as follows. The amount of retardation for a given ΔK(sub)b level is increased with increasing the baseline stress intensity factor range level for all specimen thickness. The normalized minimum crack growth rate is increased with increasing the specimen thickness, except for ΔK=45MPa√m. The retardation cycle is decreased with increasing a/W and increased with OL(sub)HZ.

Concrete is a heterogeneous material containing many weaknesses such as micro-cracks, pores and grain boundaries. The crack growth mechanism and failure behavior of concrete structures depend on the plastic deformation created by these weaknesses. In this article the non-linear finite element method is used to analyze the effect of presence of micro pore near a crack tip on both of the characteristics of crack tip plastic zone (its shape and size) and crack growth properties (such as crack growth length and crack initiation angle) under pure shear loading. The FE Code Franc2D/L is used to carry out these objectives. The effects of the crack-pore configurations and the spacing between micro pore and pre-excising crack tip on the characteristics of crack tip plastic zone and crack growth properties is highlighted. Based on the obtained results, the relative distance between the crack tip and the micro pore affects in very significant way the shape and the size of the crack tip plastic zone. Furthermore, crack growth length and crack initiation angle are mostly influenced by size and shape of plastic zone ahead of crack tip. Also the effects of pore decrease on the crack tip by variation of pore situation from linear to perpendicular configuration. The critical position for a micro pore is in front of the crack tip.

In this paper, a crack sealing robot is developed. The crack sealing robot is built to detect, track, and seal the crack on the pavement. The sealing robot is required to brush all dirt in the crack out for preparing a better sealing job. Camera calibration has been done to get accurate crack position. In order to perform a cleaning job, the explicit force control method is used to regulate a specified desired force in order to maintain constant contact with the ground. Experimental studies of force tracking control are conducted under unknown environment stiffness and location. Crack tracking control is performed. Force tracking results are excellent and the robot finds and tracks the crack very well.

The effect of crack shape on the leak flow characteristics in pipelinesis investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. In the present study, two different crack shapes are considered: axial crack andcircumferential crack. The present simulation results showed that under the same crack area, the aspect ratio influences the leak rate. When the aspect ratio is1, the leak rate reaches the minimum value. Moreover, the leak rate in the circumferentialcrack is slightly larger than that in the axial crack. The change in the leak rateaccording to the crack shape could be explained by the different velocitydistributions at the leak position depending on the aspect ratio.

In this paper, the effect of open crack on the dynamic behavior of simply supported Timoshenko beam with a moving mass was studied. The influences of the depth and the position of the crack on the beam were studied on the dynamic behavior of the simply supported beam system by numerical methods. The equation of motion is derived by using Lagrange's equation. The crack section is represented by a local flexibility matrix connecting two undamaged beam segments. The crack is modeled as a rotational spring. This flexibility matrix defines the relationship between the displacements and forces on the crack section and is derived by applying fundamental fracture mechanics theory. As the depth of the crack increases, the mid-span deflection of the Timoshenko beam with a moving mass is increased.
