  3. Abstract:
  4. In this paper, a continuous model for flexural vibration of beams with a vertical edge crack including the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia is presented. The crack is assumed to be an open-edge crack perpendicular to the neutral plane. A quasi-linear displacement filed is suggested for the beam, and the strain and stress fields are calculated. The governing equation of motion for the beam has been obtained using Hamilton principle. The equation of motion is solved with a modified weighted residual method, and the natural frequencies and mode shapes are obtained. The results are compared to the results of similar model with Euler–Bernoulli assumptions and finite element model to confirm the advantages of the proposed model in the case of short beams
