abstract={In this paper, the crack diagnosis using intelligent techniques (using membership functions in different fuzzy controllers) have been developed for inverse investigation of the vibration parameters (like modal frequencies and mode shapes) and crack parameters (like crack location, crack depth and crack inclination) of an inclined edge crack cantilever beam. The vibration parameters are calculated from finite element (using ANSYS) and experimental analysis which are used as inputs to the different fuzzy controllers. The different fuzzy controllers are designed by taking several types of membership functions to calculate the crack parameters. The calculated first three modal frequencies and mode shapes are used to generate the number of fuzzy rules with three output crack parameters. Finally, the proposed intelligent techniques are validated by comparing the results obtained from both FEA and experimental analysis. All the results are obtained from fuzzy controllers are in good agreement with experimental results.},
