Localization of Transversal Cracks in Sandwich Beams and Evaluation of Their Severity

An algorithm to assess transversal cracks in composite structures based on natural frequency changes due to damage is proposed. The damage assessment is performed in two steps; first the crack location is found, and afterwards an evaluation of its severity is performed. The technique is based on a m...
