Homotopy Iteration Algorithm for Crack Parameters Identification with Composite Element Method

An approach based on homotopy iteration algorithm is proposed to identify the crack parameters in beam structures. In the forward problem, a fully open crack model with the composite element method is employed for the vibration analysis. The dynamic responses of the cracked beam in time domain are o...
