In this paper. dynamic behavior of the cracked beam under a moving mass is presented using the finite element method (FEM). Model accuracy is improved with the following consideration: (1) FE model with Timoshenko beam element (2) Additional flexibility matrix due to crack presence (3) Interaction forces between the moving mass and supported beam. The Timoshenko bean model with a two-node finite element is constructed based on Guyan condensation that leads to the results of classical formulations. but in a simple and systematic manner. The cracked section is represented by local flexibility matrix connecting two unchanged beam segments and the crack as modeled a massless rotational spring. The inertia force due to the moving mass is also involved with gravity force equivalent to a moving load. The numerical tests for various mass levels. crack sizes. locations and boundary conditions were performed.

This paper present an analysis method of crankshaft of four cylinder internal combustion engine for studying dynamic characteristics of the shaft. For simple analysis, uniform sections of journal, pin and arm parts were assumed. Transfer Matrix Method was used, considering branched part and coordinate transformation part. Natural frequencies, natural modes and transfer functions of crank shaft were investigated based upon the Timosenko beam theory: It was shown that the calculated natural frequencies, modeshapes agree well with the experimental results.
