Stress Intensity Factor in Artificially Damaged Structures
Abstract: The presence of cracks in macrostructures creates heterogeneity which manifests itself by a change of the state of stress and strain in the structure. A crack in vibrating structures can lead to premature failure if it is not detected in time. Researchers have been working on the dynamics of cracked structures for decades to be able to monitor the structure and diagnose that fault at the earliest possible stage. In …
