The vibrations of elastic bodies with closing cracks are essentially nonlinear. As a specific feature of these vibrations, one can mention the manifestation of so-called nonlinear effects, e.g., nonlinear (i.e., sub- and superharmonic) resonances and the nonlinearity of vibrations for these resonances. The proposed method for the evaluation of the parameters of cracks (their sizes and location) is based on the analysis of the nonlinearity of vibrations in the neighborhood of a superharmonic resonance of order 2/1 and/or a subharmonic resonance of order 1/2 in the case of variation of the site of application of the driving force because, as follows from the results of numerical and experimental investigations, the level of nonlinearity of the vibrations of rods with closing cracks for nonlinear resonances depends not only on the parameters of the crack but also on the site of application of the driving forces.
