In this paper, the main objective is to examine the effects of transverse cracks on the dynamic instability regions of an axially loaded rotating blade. The blade is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. To reduce the governing equations to a set of ordinary differential equations in matrix form, Hamilton's principle is used in conjunction with the assumed-mode method. The crack is accounted for by considering the energy release rate and the parametric instability regions are obtained using Bolotin's first approximation. Benchmark results are presented for cracked rotating blades at different rotating speeds, crack lengths and crack positions
