Extraction of modal parameters with the aid of predicted analytical mode shapes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:188936
The extraction of the modal parameters for closely spaced modes in the frequency domain is a common problem. However, it is made more difficult if the damping for the closely spaced modes is high. Data from a structure with more than three percent viscous damping is presented which exhibits this phenomenon. Traditional experimental techniques failed to identify all the modal parameters of three closely spaced modes. Mode shapes from an analytical model are manipulated to produce a modal filter which is used to calculate enhanced frequency response functions from which the modal parameters can be more readily identified. Discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of this technique as compared with traditional frequency response function enhancement techniques will be presented.
