1. MODULE 10 EXPERIMENTAL MODAL ANALYSIS Most vibration problems are related to resonance phenomena where operational forces excite one or more mode of vibration. Modes of vibration which lie within the frequency range of the operations dynamic forces, always represent potential problems. An important property of modes is that any dynamic response (forced or free) of a structure can be reduced to a response of discrete set of modes.

10. The modal parameters are: Modal frequency Modal shape Modal damping Modal parameters represent the inherent properties of a structure which are independent of any excitation. Modal analysis is the process of determining all the modal parameters which is sufficient for formulating a mathematical model of a dynamic response. Modal analysis may be accomplished either through analytical, numerical or experimental techniques. EXPERIMENTAL MODAL ANALYSIS

26. Most common means of Implementing the excitation Non-attached exciters Hammers Pendulum impactors Attached exciters Shakers Eccentric rotating devices EXPERIMENTAL MODAL ANALYSIS Hammers The excitation is transient The duration and thus the shape of the spectrum of the impact is determined by the mass and stiffness of both the hammer and the structure. For a relatively small hammer used on a hard structure, the stiffness of the hammer determines the spectrum.

30. The Fourier transform is a mathematical operation that decomposes a signal into its constituent frequencies. Thus the Fourier transform of a musical chord is a mathematical representation of the amplitudes of the individual notes that make it up. The original signal depends on time, and therefore is called the time domain representation of the signal, whereas the Fourier transform depends on frequency and is called the frequency domain representation of the signal. The term Fourier transform refers both to the frequency domain representation of the signal and the process that transforms the signal to its frequency domain representation.musical chordtimetime domainfrequency domaintransforms FOURIER TRANSFORM

31. What is a Fourier Transform? A Fourier Transform is a mathematical operation that transforms a signal from the time domain to the frequency domain. We are accustomed to time-domain signals in the real world. In the time domain, the signal is expressed with respect to time. In the frequency domain, a signal is expressed with respect to frequency. What is a DFT? What is an FFT? What's the difference? A DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) is simply the name given to the Fourier Transform when it is applied to digital (discrete) rather than an analog (continuous) signal. An FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) is a faster version of the DFT that can be applied when the number of samples in the signal is a power of two. An FFT computation takes approximately N * log2(N) operations, whereas a DFT takes approximately N2 operations, so the FFT is significantly faster. http://www.ni.com/support/labview/toolkits/analysis/analy3.htm FOURIER TRANSFORM
