The vibration analysis of a multi-cracked beam using discrete element technique (DET) was investigated in this study. Undamped simply supported beam was traversed by moving mass with constant speed and Euler Bernoulli beam theory was considered. Cracks are located in different positions and maximum deflection of mid-span was derived and compared. The results showed that increasing numbers of cracks in the beam causes more deflection while maximum deflection of beam takes longer time to build up. The results were validated by solving the equations generated using finite element method (FEM) and their comparison with already established results from previous similar studies (literatures) showed good agreement.
