ABSTRACT: The paper presents the influence of multiple damages upon the dynamic behavior of beams.
The analyzed cases include asymmetric supported beams with rectangular cross-section, having in damaged
case open and closed transversal cracks. The investigations involved analytic studies on the intact beams, while
the finite element method was used to ...
