Rotating shaft-disk-blade (RSDB) system is one of the most important parts of turbomachinery, such as aero-engine, gas turbine and power plant. The coupling vibration of RSDB system with blade crack is vital for the blade health monitoring and crack detection of rotating blade. This study aims at addressing the dynamic modeling and steady-state coupling vibration mechanism of RSDB system with blade crack. First and foremost, on the basis of the stress state at crack section, an improved analytical breathing crack model (modified stress-based breathing crack model, MSBCM) for rotating blade is proposed. The validity of the proposed breathing crack model is verified by comparing the results obtained by MSBCM, finite element contact crack model and conventional analytical crack models. The comparative results suggest that MSBCM is of high fidelity and behaves best among the analytical crack models. Subsequently, a comprehensive dynamic model of the coupling vibration for RSDB system with blade crack is formulated on the basis of continuum
