The present paper not only compares the result for full depth cracks with the previous work but also presents results for partial depth cracks.
A numerical model of welded joints is established using FRANC3D, considering the effects of pit depths, crack aspect ratios, and crack depths.
In general, effects of pit depths, crack aspect ratios, and crack depths on stress intensity factor at the surface point is greater than at the deepest point. .
Effects of pit depths, crack aspect ratios, and crack depths on the stress intensity factor at the surface point are greater than at the deepest point.
A detailed parametric study is conducted to study the influences of crack depth, crack location, material property gradient, and slenderness ratio on the postbuckling behavior of cracked FGM beams.
The effects of crack depth, crack length, radius-to-thickness ratio and material hardening on fracture response are examined.
The effects of crack depth, crack location, and mass of a roving disc are investigated.
Also, the share of crack in total energy dissipation depends on crack depth, crack location, and structural damping.
Finally, the effects of crack depth, crack location and roving mass on the natural frequency of the beam are investigated.
The feasibility of considering the natural frequency as a parameter for detecting full depth cracks has been considered earlier.
