. Cyclic symmetric structures are an important class of structures in the fields of civil and mechanical engineering. In order toavoid accidents due to cracks in such structures, an effective method forcrack identification is presented in this paper. First, the dynamic model ofcyclic symmetric structures with gapless cracks is developed using a structure's sector model and rotation transformation. Then, the effects of cracks on the free vibration characteristics of a cracked cyclic symmetricstructure are addressed, with particular interests in the distortion of mode shapes and the shift and split of natural frequencies. On the basis ofcrack-induced phenomena, an effective method based on relative indicators of frequency separation is developed for quantitative crack identification.Numerical results illustrate that the relative indicators are sensitive to small cracks and insensitive to the predicting model used during analysis.Finally, the method is validated by experiments conducted on animpeller-shaft assembly. The results show the effectiveness of the frequencyseparation indicators in crack identification in cyclically symmetricstructures.
