Non-linear dynamic characteristics of a beam with a breathing crack are investigated using finite element method. This thesis has two main objectives: (1) to obtain a foresight for the vibration based crack detection by using finite element method (2) to investigate the effects of crack location, crack depth, excitation frequency, excitation amplitude and boundary conditions on the indications of crack presence. Two dimensional finite element approach is used to model a square cross sectional beam subjected to dynamic loading. Frictionless contact is introduced to avoid any penetration between the crack faces. Time histories and Fourier spectra are obtained for nodal acceleration at specified sensor locations on the beam. On the basis of the results of this research, the capability of finite element method on the crack detection is evidenced by the generation of sub- and higher-harmonics in the Fourier spectra. Both time and frequency domain responses deviate considerably from vibration response of an intact beam. The depth and position of the crack change the amplitude of the harmonics, which can be interpreted as an indicator on the severity of the damage. Furthermore, exciting the beam with frequency of first natural mode of the beam, makes the harmonics more detectable on the frequency domain.

Non-linear dynamic analysis for the lateral vibration of beams with breathing crack under harmonic excitation using finite element method Özkan, Berkay; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (null; 2017-06-09) Non-linear dynamic characteristics of beam with breathing crack were investigated using finite element method. Capability of detecting cracks is demonstrated by observing the sub and super harmonics on the forced vibration response of the beam. Moreover, changes in frequency response of lateral displacement and acceleration of the beam due to depth and location of crack are exhibited.
Computational elastodynamics of functionally graded thick-walled cylinders and annular coatings subjected to pressure shocks Abeidi, Abdelrahim; Dağ, Serkan (2022-12-01) A computational technique based on domain-boundary element method (D-BEM) is developed for elastodynamic analysis of functionally graded thick-walled cylinders and annular coatings subjected to pressure shock type of loadings. The formulation is built on the wave equation, which is derived in accordance with plane elastody-namics. Weighted residual statement for the wave equation is expressed by using the static fundamental solution as the weight function. Applying integration by parts and incorporating the...
Sliding frictional contact between a rigid punch and a laterally graded elastic medium Dağ, Serkan; Yidirim, Bora; Ozatag, A. Cihan (2009-11-01) Analytical and computational methods are developed for contact mechanics analysis of functionally graded materials (FGMs) that possess elastic gradation in the lateral direction. In the analytical formulation, the problem of a laterally graded half-plane in sliding frictional contact with a rigid punch of an arbitrary profile is considered. The governing partial differential equations and the boundary conditions of the problem are satisfied through the use of Fourier transformation. The problem is then redu...
Finite element modeling of beams with functionally graded materials Gürol, Tolga; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) In this thesis a new beam element that is based on force formulation is proposed for modeling elastic and inelastic analysis of beams with functionally graded materials. The attempt of producing functionally graded materials (FGM) arose from mixing two materials in such a way that both of them preserve their physical, mechanical and thermal properties most effectively. FGM shows a gradation through the depth from typically a metallic material such as steel or aluminum at one face of the beam’s section depth...
Multiscale Modeling of Thin-Wire Coupling Problems Using Hybridization of Finite Element and Dipole Moment Methods and GPU Acceleration ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2020-01-01) In this article, a hybrid numerical method, called finite element method (FEM) + dipole moment (DM), is presented for efficient solution of multiscale electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems that involve structures with fine features, such as thin-wire antennas or objects. In this method, the FEM is hybridized with the DM approach to help ease certain computational burdens, such as mesh refinement, ill-conditioning, memory overload, and long computation times, when solving multiscale problems with...
