RETRACTED: Using genetic algorithms to detect and configure shaft crack for rotor-bearing system Original Research Article

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors. Reason: The above mentioned article was published in virtually identical form in another journal prior to appearing in Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering. Papers submitted to the journal are required to be original works and, therefore, should not be submitted elsewhere. The duplication occurred without the knowledge of the editors, and they wish to withdraw the article from publication. The original article by Yongyong He, Dan Guo and Fulei Chu, entitled “Using genetic algorithms and finite element methods to detect shaft crack for rotor-bearing system”, was published in Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, 57 (2001) 95–108.
