Modal Impact

� Pendulum test� Based on measured Frequency response

functions

� Typical modal test with hammer or shaker

excitation

� At least 6 excitation locations (SDOF)

� 8 – 12 response locations (3 DOF)

� Time consuming

� Requires multiple suspensions - difficult

for complex structures

� No extra equipment is needed

� Limited measurement effort

� Highly accurate alternative to

conventional pendulum test

Rigid Body Properties Calculation

How does it work – Test setup

� Weigh the test item to obtain mass [kg]

� Suspend Test item (once) in free-free conditions

� Create geometry wire-frame model in global or local coordinates

� Measure FRF matrix with hammer or shaker(s)

Test Setup:

How does it work - Mass line methods

� Unchanged FRFs

� Rigid body modes and first deformation modes are sufficiently spaced

� Measured FRFs are used

� Corrected FRFs

� Rigid body modes and first deformation modes are not sufficiently spaced

� Estimate first set of flexible modes from measured FRFs

� Correct measured FRFs by subtraction of contribution of flexible modes

� Lower Residual

� No accurate FRFs are measured in the frequency range directly above rigid body modes

� Lower residuals represent the influence of the modes below the deformation modes, and are

therefore representative of the rigid body modes.

Extract mass line:

How does it work - Calculation and results

� Coordinates of centre of gravity

� Moments and products of inertia about CoG and any user defined reference

� Principal moments of inertia and their direction

� Synthesis of 6 scaled rigid body modes with user defined frequency and

damping for use in simulation models

� Least square solution over all measured DOFLeast squares over selected frequency band of mass-line

� Validation through animation of rigid body motion
