Experimental Modal Analysis
Ambient Excitation Tests
Many applications do not allow input/output tests
No possibility to apply input
Typical product loading difficult to realise (non-linear effects)
Large ambient excitation levels present
Specific approach:
Use output-only data (responses)
Assume white noise excitation
Reduce output data to covariances or cross-powers

Experimental Modal Analysis
The Analysis Process
Modal Analysis: identification of modal model parameters
from the FRF (or Covariances)
Specific problems:
Large number of inputs/outputs, long records (noisy data)
Non-simultaneous I/O measurements
High system orders, order truncation, modal overlap
Low system damping (0.1 .. 10%), Large dynamic range
Specific approach:
Simultaneous (global) analysis of all reduced (FRF) data
Order problem: Repeated analysis for increasing orders
-> The stabilisation diagram
