Dynamic Analysis of Cracked Plate Subjected to Moving Oscillator by Finite Element Method

This paper presents the finite element algorithm and results of dynamical analysis of cracked plate subjected to moving oscillator with a constant velocity and any motion orbit. There are many surveys considering the dynamic response of the plate when there is a change in number of cracks and the stiffness of the spring k. The numerical survey results show that the effect of cracks on the plate's vibration is significant. The results of this article can be used as a reference for calculating and designing traffic structures such as road surface and bridge surface panels. © 2019 Nguyen Thai Chung et al.
