The experimental modal analysis is one of powerful engineering tools for design, development and troubleshooting of machines in widerange to enhance the performance quality. Various new ideas and applications regarding the analysis are researched today. This lecture introduces the experimental modal analysis with showing some examples and exercises for deep understanding.
The aims to be emphasized are the following.
1. the fundamental theories from the basics of multi-degrees of freedom systems up to the experimental modal analysis
2. Introduction of some kinds of modal vibration testing
3. Introduction of its practicability and future ability
At the end of this course, students will be able to :
1) analyze the vibration of multi-degrees of freedom systems by modal analysis
2) understand modal parameter identification techniques using experimental frequency response functions
3) understand practical usage of identified modal parameters for machine design and development
