Abstract
A vibrational analysis of a composite beam which simulates the fractured bone and incorporates the damping effect has been presented. A good agreement of resonant frequencies is shown between the transfer functions of the experimental and the theoretical analysis. The differences in amplitude are due to the damping coefficient, the accurate value of which is difficult to determine. The results demonstrate the ability and potential of the analysis for non-destructive evaluation of the healing process.
