- Abstract
We propose in this paper a method to detect cracks in circular plates clamped at the circumference. It consists in analyzing and interpreting the frequency changes that occur due to a circular arc crack. We show that the effect of the crack depends on the strain energy loss, which actually is proportional to the curvature achieved by the affected region in the radial direction. Three types of cracks are considered herein to demonstrate this dependency, differing by their length. Modal analysis is performed involving a professional simulation software for the intact plate, and that with the generated cracks. We found a perfect fit when we compared the curvature of the plate in the radial direction obtained with the analytical relation with the frequency values for the crack displaced along the radius. Therefore, using the curvature of several vibration modes we can obtain damage patterns that can be used to locate circular cracks.
