ABSTRACT

Topic: Modal analysis by free vibration response only


Conventional modal testing requires the actuator and sensor to perform FRF measurement so as
to determine the structural modal parameters. Output only modal analysis is a new idea of
experimental modal analysis by only using the structural free vibration response due to initial
conditions. If the structural displacement can be measured, the displacement response matrices
that are the discrete-time-domain data for all measured dofs can be formulated. The velocity and
acceleration response matrices can then be calculated by finite difference methods. With the
input of these response matrices, the system natural frequencies and their corresponding mode
shapes can be determined simultaneously. Similarly modal analysis can be performed by
measuring acceleration and obtaining velocity and displacement matrix by numerical integration
methods.
This paper includes the theoretical model for Modal analysis as well as the algorithm to
determine modal parameters by free vibration response alone. Experimentally obtained values of
modal parameters are compared with respect to the theoretical model for discrete as well as
continuous system.
