Abstract

The current methodology is focused to investigate a crack assessment method for transit mass dynamics problem in the domain of improved Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) methodology. A cracked simply support beam under the action of transit mass is considered as a case study for the present analogy. The knowledge-based Elman’s RNNs (ERNNs) approach has been implemented in this problem to find out the position and severity of crack on the beam in a supervised mode. The Levenberg-Merquardt’s (L-M) back propagation mechanism or algorithm has been applied to train the knowledge based ERNNs structure. To ensure the robustness of the anticipated investigation, a numerical problem is prepared and analysed. The entire crack detection method has been performed in a supervised mode. The results obtained from ERNNs approach are compared with numerical ones and found to be well convergent.

Keywords: crack, ERNNs, L-M back propagation algorithm
