Elimination of Support Effects in Modal Testing

Article Preview

Abstract:

In modal testing, the measured Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) are often inaccurate due to the adverse mechanical effects, such as mass-loading effects of transducers, shaker-structure interaction and the support effects. This paper deals with the elimination of the support effects from measured FRFs using dynamic substructure method. Both stiffness and damping are considered in the support effects. The validity of the method is proved in a simulated modal test. It is shown that with the given support conditions the affected FRFs can be corrected provided that some additional FRFs concerned with the support point are also measured. Finally, performance of this method is assessed with noisy measured data. Simulation shows that 1% white noise is acceptable in the proposed correction method.
