3 Modal Analysis and Structural Dynamics DISK DRIVE INDUCED VIBRATIONS RESPONSE INPUT TIME FORCE OUTPUT TIME RESPONSE INPUT FORCE I F T BOARD CABINET RESPONSE F F T INPUT POWER SPECTRUM INPUT FORCE FAN INDUCED VIBRATIONS Modal Analysis is the study of the dynamic character of a system which is defined independently from the loads applied to the system and the response of the system. Structural dynamics is the study of how structures respond when subjected to applied loads. Many times, in one form or another, the modal characteristics of the structure is used to determine the response of the system..457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 3 Dr. Peter Avitabile

5 Finite Element Models Advantages Models used for design development No prototypes are necessary Disadvantages Modeling assumptions Joint design difficult to model Component interactions are difficult to predict Damping generally ignored.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 5 Dr. Peter Avitabile

6 Finite Element Models Analytical models are developed to describe the system mass and stiffness characteristics of a component or system The model is decomposed to express the part in terms of its modal characteristics - its frequency, damping and shapes The dynamic characteristics help to better understand how the structure will behave and how to adjust or improve the component or system design.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 6 Dr. Peter Avitabile

37 Impact Excitation An impulsive excitation which is very short in the time window usually lasting less than 5% of the sample interval. ADVANTAGES -easy setup - fast measurement time - minimum of equipment -low cost DISADVANTAGES - poor rms to peak levels - poor for nonlinear structures - force/response windows needed - pretrigger delay needed - double impacts may occur - high potential for signal overload and underload of ADC.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 37 Dr. Peter Avitabile

38 Impact Excitation - Hammer Tip Selection The force spectrum can be customized to some extent through the use of hammer tips with various hardnesses. A hard tip has a short pulse and excites a wide frequency range. A soft tip has a long pulse and excites a narrow frequency range. In addition, the local structure flexibility will also have an effect on the frequency range excited..457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 38 Dr. Peter Avitabile

43 Simple Peak Pick - SDOF System Substitute the pole into the SDOF FRF equation h(jω) ω ω n = (jω n a + σ jω d + ) (jω n a + σ + jω d ) a =σh(jω) ω ω n.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 43 Dr. Peter Avitabile

44 Simple Peak Pick - Consider Additional Modes Substitute the first pole into the FRF equation h(jω) ω ω = (jω a + σ jω d + ) (jω a + σ + jω d + ) (jω n a + σ jω d + ) (jω + σ + ω n a j d ).457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 44 Dr. Peter Avitabile

45 Simple Peak Pick - Considerations and Use Peak pick is a quick and simple check Modes must be well spaced (ie: no significant modal overlap) Approximate since peak is determined from the frequency resolution Good quick check before attempting major modal parameter estimation Quickly identify erroneous measurement points (ie: phase reversal, incorrect direction, etc).457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 45 Dr. Peter Avitabile

46 SDOF Circle Fit - Kennedy-Pancu Simple equation of a circle is fit to the data in the Nyquist Noise and leakage have a pronounced effect on circle Use of windows tends to make the circle look egg-shaped Circle fit method not used as much today due to the availability of many MDOF methods Source: Heylen, Modal Analysis - Theory and Testing h(jω ) = σ φ = r U + jv + j( ω ω U + V ; tan( α ) σ r r + R + ) = U V ji.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 46 Dr. Peter Avitabile

47 SDOF - Complex Exponential Response Time domain response can be used to extract parameters This time domain technique is generally used on multiple mode time response data Amplitude Period Damping Decay Generally not used for single mode response extraction h(t) = mω d e ζωt sin ω d t.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 47 Dr. Peter Avitabile

48 Complex Exponential One of the first mdof estimators was the complex exponential which uses the Prony Algorithm to solve the set of equations. The Toeplitz equations are used to form the characteristic polynomial followed by the mode shape extraction using Vandemonde Equation formulation. ADVANTAGE h(t) = m k= numerically fast and stable handles many modes m ω k dk e σkt sin ω dk t I F T DISADVANTAGE time domain leakage is a concern must overspecify modes to handle residuals.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 48 Dr. Peter Avitabile

49 SDOF Polynomial Form Simple equation of a polynomial for one mode is used to fit the function Additional terms are typically added to account for effects of adjacent or out-of-band modes Fast, simple, easy to use Inappropriate for use with very closely spaced modes (s) = ms h + cs + k compensation terms can be added to account for out of band effects.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 49 Dr. Peter Avitabile

50 SDOF Rational Fraction Polynomial Simply the ratio of two polynomials While useful for estimating SDOF type characteristics, its real benefits are for multiple modes Orthogonal polynomials used to greatly simplify the numerical processing More discussion on this in the advanced curvefitting Source: Richardson, Rational fraction Polynomial.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 50 Dr. Peter Avitabile

51 MDOF Polynomial This method uses a Rational Fraction polynomial form of the FRF in order to extract modal parameters. Both the numerator and denominator polynomials are used in a least squares fit to extract the polynomial coefficients. h ij (jω) a ij = (jω p aij3 + (jω p aij + ) (jω p 3 ) aij3 + ) (jω p 3 ) A key advantage of the frequency domain representation of the FRF is that the effects of out-of-band modes can be easily accounted for by adding extra terms to the numerator polynomial..457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 5 Dr. Peter Avitabile

52 Other Time Domain Techniques Other time domain techniques exist which extend the Complex Exponential technique described above. Techniques such as Ibrahim Time Domain and Polyreference LSCE utilize some variant of the equation below to formulate the problem O O Λt [ h(t) ] = [ V] e [ L] global parameters are extracted for poles and shapes uses MIMO time data for the estimation process.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 5 Dr. Peter Avitabile

53 Other Frequency Domain Techniques Other frequency domain techniques exist which extend the polynomial technique described above. Techniques such as Least Squares Frequency Domain, Orthogonal Polynomial, Frequency Domain Parameter Identification utilize some variant of the rational fraction, partial fraction or reduced equation of motion to formulate the problem m [ ] ik kj hij(jω) = + + UR ij + k= u L (jω p global poles, MPF and shapes extracted LSFD nonlinear problem solved iteratively RFP - ill-conditioning possible for higher order polys use of orthogonal poly to minimize numerical problems k ) LR ω ij.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 53 Dr. Peter Avitabile

54 Mode Shapes from the FRFs A simple peak pick of the imaginary part of the FRF will be used to estimate shapes MODE 4 MODE Advanced manipulation of FRF data is beyond the scope of this simple introduction to experimental modal analysis.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Experimental Modal Analysis 54 Dr. Peter Avitabile
