Mode Shape Analysis of Multiple Cracked Functionally Graded Timoshenko Beams

Abstract The present paper addresses free vibration of multiple cracked Timoshenko beams made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM). Cracks are modeled by rotational spring of stiffness calculated from the crack depth and material properties vary according to the power law throughout the beam thickn...
