Abstract:
This research focuses on an inclined curved crack model for a recycled aluminum composite beam at various crack depths and locations. The inclined curved crack equation of the motion, by governing a free vibration curved beam with a different depth of crack, is solved computationally via the differential quadrature method (DQM) and experimentally; additionally, the result of the natural frequency has been compared with various depths of curvature. For the first four modes of cracked beams, the computational method's output is used to determine the natural frequencies associated with mode shapes. The outcomes of the computational results suggested a structural health monitoring system to detect deterioration in composite structures when modal parameters have changed. An experimental set of results was validated using MATLAB2019a, and the outcomes were compared with an artificial neural network.
