Effects of shaker, stinger and transducer mounting on measured frequency response functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrodynamic shakers are utilized in many experimental modal tests and general structural dynamic testing. The physical aspects of shaker, stinger and transducer setup can result in anomalies that are often misunderstood. Many times measurement artifacts related to mounting and dynamic coupling between shaker, stinger and test object can appear, affecting test results. This paper overviews some of the common problems that are typically encountered. Measurements are made on several structures to better demonstrate the effects of these issues. These include shaker alignment, stinger selection, reciprocity and other practical concerns that must be clearly understood in order to make the best possible overall measurements.

متن کاملOptimal characteristics determination of engine mounting system using TRA mode decoupling with emphasis on frequency responses
It is possible to improve vehicle vibration by tuning the parameters of engine mounting system. By optimization of mount characteristics or finding the optimal position of mounts, vibration of the engine and transmitted force from the engine to the chassis can be reduced. This paper examines the optimization of 6-degree-of-freedom engine mounting system based on torque roll axis (TRA) mode deco...
