Experimental Modal Testing of the Elastic Tube Bundle

Article Preview

Abstract:

The elastic tube bundle is a new-style heat exchange element that can enhance heat transfer efficiency and reduce energy consumption. It is difficult to obtain exact analytical solutions because of the complex shape and constraint condition. An experimental modal testing technique is applied to get the dynamic properties. Some issues to which one should pay attention during the experiment are emphasized. Natural frequencies and mode shapes are identified from the test and compared to numerical results. Agreement is found for most frequencies of interest. But, some discrepancies exist for the vibration in-plane due to the inevitable operation error.
