In this study dynamic analysis of a metallic beam under travelling mass was investigated. A beam with an edge crack was considered to be reinforced using composite patch. Euler-Bernoulli beam theory was applied to simulate the time-history behavior of the beam under dynamic loading. Crack in the beam was modeled using a rotational spring. Dimension of the composite patch, crack length, stress intensity factor at crack tip and beam deflection are some parameters which were studied in details. Results were validated against those which were found through Finite Element Method.
