Abstract
Structural components potentially
require continuous monitoring for the detection of
cracks, crack growth, and damage, for ensuring an
uninterrupted service in critical installations.
Cracks can be present in structures for various
reasons such as impact, fatigue, corrosion, external
& environmental factors such as temperature,
relative humidity, rainfall, and because of the
effects of the general properties of structures over
time. The presence of small irregularities in the
form of a damage or crack does not only cause a
local variation in the stiffness, but can affect the
mechanical & dynamical behaviour of the complete
structure. Cracks and damage present in vibrating
components can lead to a complete loss of
equilibrium and cause catastrophic failure. For
these reasons, it is necessary to get insight of the
dynamics of plate structures in the presence of
damages or cracks. There is a limited literature on
this topic, and the review attempts to describe the
current literature on this subject.
