The main goal of this note is to discuss the applicability of approximate closed-form solutions to evaluate the natural frequencies for bending vibrations of simply supported Euler–Bernoulli cracked beams. From the well-known model, which considers the cracked beam as two beams connected by a rotational spring, different approximate solutions are revisited and compared with those found by a direct method, which has been chosen as reference.
