A survey of the technology of modal testing, a new method for describing the vibration properties of a structure by constructing mathematical models based on test data rather than using conventional theoretical analysis. Shows how to build a detailed mathematical model of a test structure and analyze and modify the structure to improve its dynamics. Covers techniques for measuring the mode, shapes, and frequencies of practical structures from turbine blades to suspension bridges.

Research Studies Pr Ltd

All the steps involved in planning, executing, interpreting and applying the results from a modal test are described in straightforward terms. This edition has brought the previous book up to date by including all the new and improved techniques that have emerged during the 15 years since the first edition was written, especially those of signal processing and modal analysis. New topics are introduced, notable amongst them are the application of modal testing to rotating machinery and the use of scanning laser vibrometer.

Structural Dynamics @ 2000 presents a comprehensive analysis and interpretation of Structural Dynamics, stemming from a week long Forum held in the USA in April 1999. The book contains a set of essays that describe and analyse the current technology of Structural Dynamics, and a series of authoritative reviews of the major areas within the subject, aimed at presenting the state-of-the-art of the whole field, resulting in a critical assessment concerning the future direction that the subject and its community should follow. The outcome of the discussion serves to provide researchers and sponsors alike with a set of highly developed and cogent arguments that justify the work planned for future years. Covering developing technologies such as modal updating, emerging technologies such as smart materials and the image and culture of structural dynamics, the book helps to prioritise the most critical tasks to be undertaken within this field and raises the priority of structural dynamics alongside other disciplines that might be competing for the same funds. The contributions are written by a range of international authors and brought together by two of the foremost experts in the field.
