    This document describes an experiment to determine the dynamic characteristics of a structure through modal analysis. Modal analysis identifies the natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes of a structure by applying a known force with an impact hammer while measuring the response with accelerometers. The experimental setup is mounted and tested, and natural frequencies and damping ratios are determined from the frequency response functions. Ten natural frequencies are identified between 164.7Hz and 883.8Hz, with damping ratios ranging from 0.38 to 1.06. The modal analysis provides the dynamic behavior characteristics of the test specimen.

    ABSTRACT:
    The objective of the experiment is to determine the dynamic characteristics of a
    structure. This can be done by giving a known value of impact force to the structure
    with the help of impact hammer and the responses are measured with the help of
    data acquisition system and analyzed using FFT.

    THEORY:
    The goal of modal analysis in structural mechanics is to determine the natural
    mode shapes and frequencies of an object or structure during free vibration.
    It is common to use the finite element method (FEM) to perform this analysis
    because, like other calculations using the FEM, the object being analyzed can
    have arbitrary shape and the results of the calculations are acceptable. The
    types of equations which arise from modal analysis are those seen in Eigen
    systems. The physical interpretation of the Eigen values and eigenvectors
    which come from solving the system are that they represent the frequencies
    and corresponding mode shapes.
    Sometimes, the only desired modes are the lowest frequencies because they
    can be the most prominent modes at which the object will vibrate, dominating
    all the higher frequency modes.

    Modal analysis, or more accurately experimental modal analysis, is the field of


    measuring and analysing the dynamic response of structures and or fluids when
    excited by an input.
    Examples would include measuring the vibration of a car's body when it is
    attached to an electromagnetic shaker, or the noise pattern in a room when
    excited by a loudspeaker.
    Typical excitation signals can be classed as impulse, broadband, swept sine,
    chirp, etc. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
    The excitation and response analysis is based on Maxwells Reciprocal Theorem.
    Based on this either the excitation may be given at chosen locations &
    acceleration values measured at fixed location (Rowing Force), or vice versa
    excitation at fixed location and accelerometer moved to different locations
    (Rowing Response).
    The analysis of the signals typically relies on Fourier analysis. The resulting
    transfer function will show one or more resonances, whose characteristic mass,
    frequency and damping can be estimated from the measurements.

    The quantity H () is known a Frequency Response Function (FRF) of the


    system, which is the ratio of Fourier transform of response to the
    Fourier transform of excitation

    PROCEDURE:
    1. Structure is mounted according to boundary condition (ground or free free
    condition).
    2. Excitation locations are noted.
    3. The response locations for placing the accelerometers are marked.
    4. The accelerometers and the impact hammer are connected to DAQ and proper
    checks are made.
    5. All the FRFs are saved and model imported.
    6. Frequency peaks are searched with respect to Driving Point FRF to get the
    natural frequency.
    7. Damping is calculated using half Power Bandwidth method.
    8. All Modal Vectors on the experimental model are mapped to get the mode
    shapes at all natural frequencies.

    found from Modal Analysis which gives its dynamic behavioral characteristics.
