Abstract

Different solid materials are widely used in various constructions due to their availability and low cost. However, cracks or conversions in the structures can affect their stiffness and vibration signatures. This research aims to evaluate the load distribution, deformation, and the effects of the cracks on the natural frequencies and deformations of iron, steel, and titanium beams. A finite element-based model and COMSOL Multiphysics software were employed to measure and compare the frequencies and strengths of the beams. The results showed that the frequencies increased with the load, and titanium beams had the highest frequencies and deflections, while steel beams had the highest stress resistance. This frequency analysis can help to detect very small cracks (less than 0.05 mm) in the beams. The study concluded that steel is the most suitable material for construction due to its elasticity, availability, and low cost.
