Abstract: Taking cracked cantilever beam system as the research project, a finite element model of straight-cracked cantilever beam was established on the basis of the ANSYS by using beam, plane and contact elements. The contact elements were used to simulate breathing effects of crack, and the effectiveness of the as-proposed model was verified by comparing with the natural frequency in the literature. Under impulsive and sinusoidal excitation, the effects of friction on vibration characteristics were analyzed based on the model. The change rules of system damping ratio and natural frequency with the crack depth and crack position were analyzed with ignoring friction. The results showed that the interface friction of crack has few effects on system vibration, and damping ratio could be used as a parameter of crack detection to some extent.

Key words: breathing crack, friction, damping ratio, crack location, crack depth
