this study contains the identification of modal dynamic properties of a 3-story large-scale steel test frame structure through shaking table measurements. shaking table test is carried out to estimate the modal properties of the test frame such as natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes. among many different model structures, arx (auto recursive exogenous) model structure is used fo...

This paper summarizes the results of a recent investigation on the dynamic response of asymmetric-plan buildings with supplemental viscous damping to harmonic ground motion using modal analysis techniques. It is shown that most modal parameters, except modal damping ratios and dynamic amplification factors, are affected very little by the plan-wise distribution of supplemental damping in the pr...

In this research, the modal parameters of a beam in free-free condition are extracted by performing different experiments in laboratory. For this purpose, two different techniques are employed. The first methodology is considered as a time domain method in Operational Modal Analysis. While the other one is frequency domain impact hammer test which is categorized as an Experimental Modal Analysi...

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...

Damping material is usually applied on the steel panel of a vehicle to reduce vibration level. On the other hand, the weight reduction is also required to improve fuel consumption. Therefore, modal loss factors induced by damping material on the steel panel of a vehicle body structure need to be maximized with a given volume. In this paper we propose a practical design method to maximize modal ...

A new method of parameter identification based on linear time-frequency representation and Hilbert transform is proposed in this paper to identify modal parameters of linear time-varying systems from measured vibration responses. With Gabor expansion and synthesis theory, measured responses are represented in time-frequency domain and modal components are reconstructed by time-frequency filteri...

Second order matrix equations arise in the description of real dynamical systems. Traditional modal control approaches utilise the eigenvectors of the undamped system to diagonalise the system matrices. A regrettable consequence of this approach is the discarding of residual off-diagonal terms in the modal damping matrix. This has particular importance for systems containing skew-symmetry in th...

In the present work, structure health monitoring (SHM) of welded steel pipes was used to diagnosis their state via vibration based damage detection techniques. The dynamic quantities such as Frequency Response Functions (FRFs), mode shapes and modal parameters from structural vibration to detect damage were measured, set on linear averaging mode, with a maximum frequency of analysis of 3.2 kHz....
