The Experimental Verification of the Numerical Model for Cracked Beam Incorporating Measurement Uncertainty
Open Access
|Oct 2008Abstract
This paper presents verification of the numerical model of a cracked beam against the experimental results. Presented investigation assesses the adequacy of a crack model incorporated in the ABAQUS commercial FEM package. Structure under investigation is a square hollow steel section. Experimental and numerical modal model parameters like mode shapes and natural frequencies were compared. Obtained results confirm the high level of confidence for the numerical model of the crack. This observation constitutes application of crack model in the computations of more complex structures.
