Cyclic loading results in the formation of fatigue cracks in mechanical components. This if not detected and remedied will result in the failure of that component. The aim of the project is to detect and locate cracks in steel plates using natural frequency and to predict their direction of propagation using the same. Observation of changes in the natural frequencies due to presence of crack is the most popular method used for this purpose. An analytical model will be formulated. Natural frequencies from FEM analysis and experimental setup will be obtained. These theoretical and experimental results will be compared for validation.
