Abstract

The paper presents the results of a numerical study of forced and decaying vibrations of a system simulating a body with a closing crack under the action of various modes of a nonlinear restoring force and nonlinear viscous friction or the hysteresis-type energy dissipation. We obtained the general patterns of appearance of higher harmonics of the Fourier expansion of time dependence of vibration of a cracked body model. The sensitivity of the higher-harmonic method to the presence of a crack is compared with that of some other vibration damage indicators.
