Dynamic Parameter Identification Using Ambient Response Analysis and Ibrahim Time Domain Approach: A Case Study on a Steel Plate Structure

Abstract:

Since the level of vibration always depends on the natural frequencies of the system, it is important to know the modal parameters of such system to control failure and provide prevention actions. However, for many mechanical engineering machines or structures, there is a demand and necessity to determine real-life modal parameters using actual operating condition. This type of testing condition cannot be done in lab environment because most of the mechanical structure is big in size and heavy. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to study the natural frequencies of a steel plate by using Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) and Ibrahim Time Domain (ITD). Comparison of results between both approaches will be shown.
