and O. E. BoginichThe paper summarizes the results of approximate calculation of the influence of amplitudedependent dissipation of energy on vibrodiagnostic parameters of the presence of a closing mode I edge crack in beams of rectangular cross-section for different end restrain conditions and different cases of harmonic excitation of subharmonic resonance in any natural mode.Introduction. As mentioned earlier [1][2][3][4], the analysis of interrelation between fatigue crack parameters and vibrations of elastic bodies for the purpose of elaborating effective methods of vibrodiagnostics of fatigue damage still attracts researchers' attention. Significant research efforts are focused on the study of the vibration spectrum of an elastic body with a closing crack under super-and subharmonic resonances. A single-mass model of an elastic body and a beam-type structure is given a more detailed consideration. However, the currently known investigationsboth the analytical and numerical ones -are limited to addressing forced vibrations of an elastic body taking into account the linear viscous friction only.In further elaboration on the work [3, 4], the present paper summarizes the findings of approximate calculations of vibrodiagnostic parameters of the presence of a closing mode I edge crack in a beam of rectangular cross-section ( Fig. 1) for different boundary conditions and types of harmonic excitation of 1/2-order subharmonic resonance in the first mode of bending vibration under amplitude-dependent damping conditions. Calculation Procedure. According to the results obtained in [3,4], in the case of tuned 1/2-order subharmonic resonance in the jth mode of bending vibration the main vibrodiagnostic parameter of the presence of a closing edge crack of depth a in some beam section x x c = is the ratio between the maximum amplitudes of the first (resonant) harmonic A jC
