Abstract
An explicit expression of natural frequencies through crack parameters is derived for multiple cracked beams with simply supported boundaries using the Rayleigh quotient. The obtained expression provides not only a simple tool for calculating natural frequencies of multiple cracked beams, but also allows employing the so-called crack scanning method for detecting multiple cracks in simply supported beams from measured natural frequencies. A numerical example demonstrates that the crack scanning method, in combination with the Rayleigh quotient, enables consistent identification of cracks with 1% relative depth.
