A point load is applied on the simply supported beam of length L. Let the crack has a depth of "d" and breadth of "b". How will this effect the bending moment diagram if no crack was present?
Please check the following European standard: EN-14651. Test method for metallic fibered concrete - Measuring the flexural tensile strength (limit of proportionality (LOP), residual). Attached please find a copy of the standards.
a bending moment diagram is an integral characteristics M = \int \sigma_x z dz so it is in general to "rough" to judge about \sigma_x or in the case of a crack about the full stess tensor components \sigma_x, \sigma_z and \tau_xz or stress intensity
if the beam is statically indeterminate, the furthermore constraints introduce geometric conditions in the problem, with result to change the bending moment diagram of the beam. Therefore, the cross section, where exist the crack, will effect on the bending moment which develops thereon.
No, Moment will be the same but d2u/dx2 will change. That means deflection curve will change. This answer is giving considering your former question's condidations..
Since the beam is simply supported beam then the moment diagram will stay the say. Moment is based in this case on equilibrium. Changes will occur on curvature M/EI and deflection
Yes, deflection, curvature, stresses and strain will be affected. However moment, shear force and reaction won't be changed as they are based on equilibrium
Consider piecewise problem: the crack is closed and open. Therefore, this is nonlinearity. In expecting the appearance of power second and higher harmonics to eigenfrequencies, that's in the absence of crack, at dynamical tests.
If the beam is simply supported, we deal with the statically determinate system. It follows that a crack produces no effect on the bending moment diagram and transverse shear force diagram. What changes in the presence of a crack is slopes, deflections, and stresses.
Imagine the beam is sagging. If the crack length is in the compression half of the beam above the neutral layer, then crack will get closed due to bending. in this case there will be no change in SFD or BMD as the compression in beam will try to close the crack faces making it behave like intact solid.
If the crack is in lower half of the sagging beam, then crack faces will show the excess opening due to tension in below neutral layer fibers in the beam. Crack will reflect itself as discontinuity in the slope and deflection diagram. This deflection can be imagined as the crack modeled as y torsional spring.
