The research optimizes the use of the dynamic modal analysis based on experimental data as a non-destructive approach in identifying the structural integrity of historic buildings. Currently dynamic modal analysis is widely used to global understand displacements of construction given their size and structure. This research proposes to simplify the ways in which to assess the structural conserv...

in this paper the interior noise level of a vehicle due to structural vibration, named structure borne noise, as a part of nvh analysis has been investigated. first structural analysis is performed and vibrational behavior of structure carried out due to power plant excitations. then interior acoustic cavity response for such excitation and resultant noise is determined. vibrational analysis is...

Modal verbs in English are challenging to learn by speakers of other languages. The purpose of thiswas to shed light on the use of gesture in learning English modal verbs by Persian-speaking children.To achieve this, 60 elementary Iranian learners, studying at some institutes in Karaj took part in thisstudy. The participants were randomly put into one experimental group and one control group. T...

Application Note 243-3 Η(ω) = Σ n r = 1 φ φ i j /m (n-) + (2 n) ω ω ξωω 2 2 2 2 2 Modal analysis is defined as the study of the dynamic characteristics of a mechanical structure. This application note emphasizes experimental modal techniques, specifically the method known as frequency response function testing. Other areas are treated in a general sense to introduce their elementary concepts an...

In this paper, following a two-stage methodology, the differential quadrature element (DQE) model of a three-story frame structure is updated for the vibration analysis. In the first stage, the mass and stiffness matrices are updated using the experimental natural frequencies. Then, having the updated mass and stiffness matrices, the structural damping matrix is updated to minimize the error be...

the paper investigates into the vibrational characteristics of the truck chassis including the natural frequencies and mode shapes. truck chassis forms the structural backbone of a commercial vehicle. when the truck travels along the road, the truck chassis is excited by dynamic forces caused by the road roughness, engine, transmission and more. modal analysis using finite element method (fem) ...

in this paper, optimum location of power system stabilizers in order to damp inter-area oscillations has been investigated by using modal series method. nonlinear effects grow in dynamical behaviors of heavily loaded stressed power systems significantly. hence linear based methods and techniques no longer present clear and exact response of the systems. in this article by defining new nonlinear...

The modal testing has proven to be an effective and non-destructive test method for estimation of the dynamic stiffness and damping constant. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the modal response of stiffened Fiber Metal Laminated (FML) circular cylindrical shells using experimental and numerical techniques. For this purpose, three types of FML-stiffened shells are fabricated by a s...

At the initial phase of the mechanical product development, it is very important to effectively obtain the modal damping ratio of the bolted joint structure for accurately predicting dynamic response. The energy dissipation has been estimated using a finite element model incorporating the effect of pretension force of the bolted joint. First, the modal damping ratios of the first four modes are...
