Vibro-impact response of the cracked structures to monitor structural health

A method of simulation is developed for studying the dynamics of the structures with discontinuities using Matlab-Simulink. Simulation and experiments were performed to analyse the nonlinear behaviour of the cracked bar. It is found that the crack-induced nonlinearity leads to the generation of high...
