analysis?</h2><p>Modal analysis is an indispensable tool in understanding the structural dynamics of objects - how structures and objects vibrate and how resistant they are to applied forces. The modal analysis allows machines and structures to be tested, optimized, and validated. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_analysis">Modal analysis</a> is widely accepted in a broad range of applications in the automotive, civil engineering, aerospace, power generation, and musical instruments industries, among countless others.</p><p>Natural resonance frequencies of the objects and damping parameters can be calculated, and mode shapes can be visualized on an animated geometry of the measured objects. </p><p>The collection of modal parameters - natural frequencies, damping, and mode shapes - is referred to as a <strong>Modal Model</strong>.</p><p>To determine accurate modal models thorough modal analysis must be performed based on accurate modal test measurements. </p><p>Modal Test and Analysis typically involves:</p><ol><li><p>One or more exciters, such as modal shakers or an impact hammer</p></li><li><p>Force transducers that acquire the input excitation signals</p></li><li><p>Accelerometers that acquire the output response signals</p></li><li><p>A DAQ device (Data Acquisition) device to display and record the test</p></li><li><p>A computer with a Modal Test and Analysis software application</p></li></ol><style data-emotion="css

Testing in the lab has the advantage of a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the ability to easily change the test setup.</p><p>When doing EMA testing, objects are excited by artificial forces and both the inputs (excitation) signals and outputs (responses) signals are measured and used to estimate Modal Models. </p><h2 id="operating-deflection-shapes-ods" class="post-heading">Operating deflection shapes (ODS) </h2><p><strong>Operating Deflection Shapes</strong> (ODS) is a simple way to do dynamic analysis and see how a machine or a structure moves within its operational conditions. ODS tests have no applied artificial forces and only response vibration signals are measured. </p><p><strong>A modal model</strong> can not be estimated from ODS measurements but it provides structural deflection shapes which improves the structural analysis of operational DUTs.</p><p>ODS is used successfully for machine conditioning monitoring and in civil engineering applications e.g. on bridges, buildings, and other structures that are difficult to excite with artificial forces. </p><div class="css-0"><div class="css-1v0x6xo"></div><p class="chakra-text css-1q1gjhz">A video example of ODS modal testing and analysis performed with Dewesoft DAQ hardware and DewesoftX software.</p></div><h2 id="operational-modal-analysis-oma" class="post-heading">Operational modal analysis (OMA)</h2><p>The modal test measurement procedure for <strong>Operational Modal Analysis</strong> (OMA) is similar to ODS, but their analysis part is different. How ODS and OMA differ is explained in detail in the section ODS vs OMA described.</p><h2 id="test-preparation" class="post-heading">Test preparation</h2><p>Before starting a modal test some test preparation is required, including:</p><ul><li><p>Mounting of the Test Structure</p></li><li><p>Type of excitation force(s)</p></li><li><p>Location(s) of excitation (driving points)</p></li><li><p>Hardware and sensors to measure the force(s) and responses</p></li><li><p>Geometry Model</p></li></ul><h3 id="mounting-of-the-test-structure" class="post-heading">Mounting of the test structure</h3><p>When performing modal testing the DUT (Device Under Test) must be able to vibrate dynamically in ways that will reveal all and correct natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure. </p><p>To pursue free vibration patterns, or similar vibration patterns as expected when the structure is operating in real life, materials like rubber bands, elastic wires, foam pads, and other materials providing a soft elastic system are often used to hang or place the structure on at the locations the structure is designed to be fixed.</p><p>If e.g. the test structure is fixated at some positions under test, that is going to vibrate freely when the test structure is operating in real life, then the measured dynamic properties will not fully relate to the real-life usage of the structure - since adding stiffness to the structure will shift the frequencies upwards, and it might also cause some mode shapes to be undetected. </p><h3 id="rigid-body-motion" class="post-heading">Rigid body motion</h3><p>Rigid motion, or rigid body modes, are vibrations of the whole DUT as a rigid object and do not provide information on the structural dynamic properties of the DUT (the flexible modes). Such rigid body modes are related to the selected support configuration.</p><p>Depending on how the DUT is mounted the rigid body modes might affect the flexible modes of the structure in an unacceptable manner. The impact of the rigid modes on the flexible modes depends on how close in frequency the rigid modes are to some flexible modes, and on what is determined to be an acceptable accuracy of the measurements. </p><p>A rule of thumb is often to accept the modal data if the FRFs show greater than a 10:1 frequency ratio between the rigid body modes and the flexible modes, e.g. last rigid mode at 1 Hz and first flexible mode at 10 Hz. But, again this will always depend on the agreed accuracy of the specific application since some flexible modes will be affected to some extent. <br/> <br/>If a different support configuration is introduced then the best practice is to make an evaluation of how this affects the flexible modes.</p><h3 id="types-of-excitation-force-s" class="post-heading">Types of excitation force(s)</h3><p>Different input excitation types can be selected for EMA testing. Which type to choose depends on the user scenario.

The random excitation types can be continuous, burst, or periodic random.</p><p>Sinusoidal excitation signals can also be used to perform Sine Testing, e.g. Stepped Sine testing or Normal Mode Tuning. </p><p>With Sine Testing it is possible to control the excitation force level, for a particular frequency, at the individual excitation DOFs, together with the phase pattern between them. </p><p>With the ability to control the excitation levels and phase pattern at DOFs, it is possible "to tune in" to a specific mode (Normal Mode Tuning). This can be very useful when a detailed investigation of single modes is desired, e.g. when performing a non-linear investigation for specific modes.</p><p>With sine testing, all applied energy can be focused on exciting one specific mode at a time. In this way, a significant amount of the input energy can be reduced or focused at one frequency. Compare this to random excitation signals, where the energy is distributed over the full frequency span, covering all modes simultaneously.</p><h3 id="ods-operational-deflection-shapes-testing" class="post-heading">ODS (operational deflection shapes) testing</h3><p><a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_deflection_shape">ODS (Operational Deflection Shape)</a> Testing can be a valuable tool for analyzing and determining modifications for dominating structural vibrations on operating structures, where normal EMA is difficult to perform. </p><p>Examples of operational test conditions can be continuous signals from a running engine, or transient signals from earthquakes, explosions, drop-tests, and many more. </p><p>ODS testing determines the structural deflection shapes of an operating DUT by measuring the amplitude and phase information of the DOFs.</p><p>ODS Testing does not use input excitation signals, but only output response signals. One or more of the response DOFs are selected as the reference DOF(s) to extract the phase information. </p><p>Note that the selected reference(s) need to cover energy from all frequencies/orders of interest. </p><p>The deflection shapes can be determined by either Time ODS, Spectral ODS, or Non-stationary ODS (used for varying speed testing). In all cases, the ODS results are animated deflection shapes on the Geometry and the related amplitude and phase information.</p><h4 id="time-ods" class="post-heading">Time ODS</h4><p>Time ODS results express the overall deflections of the operating DUT, where the user can adjust the time for where to look at the deflections.</p><p>Time ODS testing uses the measured time signals of the DOFs to extract the amplitude levels and the phase related to the reference DOF(s). This is done for all points in time, and the deflections can hereby be animated over a time axis. </p><p>Note that since Time ODS testing uses the time signals to extract the phase information, it is difficult to use when performing roving accelerometer testing. In these cases, accurate triggering mechanisms are required to ensure that all roving sets of measurements are aligned with respect to phase. Normally Time ODS is performed when enough accelerometers are available to cover the DUT without roving. </p><h4 id="spectral-ods" class="post-heading">Spectral ODS</h4><p>Spectral ODS results express the deflections of the DUT at individual frequencies determined by the user. </p><p>Spectral ODS testing uses the processed frequency data of the DOFs to extract the amplitude and the phase related to the reference DOF(s).

Each measurement includes some random noise that can affect the determination of the resonance frequencies of the system and mode shapes. By averaging multiple measurements, the random noise components can be reduced. </p><p>A random noise will be reduced more if a higher number of averages are chosen, and it is up to the engineer to decide a preferable number of measurement blocks to average. This decision is a balance between the desired quality of the results and the required test time. </p><p>In general, a rule of thumb is to average across:</p><ul><li><p>32 to 64 averages for shaker testing, and</p></li><li><p>4 to 8 averages for hammer impact testing.</p></li></ul><p>Normally Modal Test application software lets the user specify the number of averages to use at each DOF measurement. For normal impact excitation testing (with one impact per measurement block), this means that the user should impact the set of DOFs locations each equal to the number of averages specified. </p><p>Looking at Coherence functions is a primary validation tool when performing Modal Testing, but don’t be misled by a coherence value of 1 after a single measurement has been taken.</p><p>By definition, the coherence function is based on multiple measurements and therefore only provides useful data after averaging has been performed.</p><p>Averaging should be done on the data for the individual DOF locations and not across all DOFs.</p><p>For example, it is valid when averaging the Autospectra \(G_{AA}(f)\) and \(G_{BB}(f)\), and the Cross-spectra \(G_{AB}(f)\) based on the same DOFs. Modal Tests results like FRFs and Coherence functions are when calculated based on those averaged spectra. Autospectra and Cross-spectra are described more in (Appendix).</p><h2 id="what-is-a-modal-hammer" class="post-heading">What is a modal hammer?</h2><p>A Modal Hammer is used for hammer impact tests, and is typically carried out on a simple structure or is used as a quick survey before the more complex modal shaker test.

In general, it takes little time to set up and carry out the modal test where a smaller amount of measurement points are sufficient.</p><figure class="css-1bujgkd"><div

In comparison to modal hammers, modal shakers have the ability to excite the structure in a broader frequency range, and with many different signal types, best suited for different structures and ideal for accurate test results. </p><p>Also, modal shakers can be controlled to excite the structures with certain user-defined excitation levels, which can be used to gain a flat or shaped excitation curve with reference to the excitation frequencies. By controlling the shaker excitation level the structure can be protected from critically high amplitude deflections, and different levels can be tested to analyze non-linear effects. </p><p>Multiple shakers can be used together with and without controlled amplitude and/or phase patterns. Using multiple shakers on complex structures gives a more realistic force excitation and better investigation of all mode shapes.</p><h3 id="types-of-vibration-shakers-for-modal-testing" class="post-heading">Types of vibration shakers for modal testing</h3><p>Various types of shakers can be used as modal shakers: </p><ul><li><p>Permanent Magnet Shakers</p></li><li><p>Modal Shakers</p></li><li><p>Inertial Shakers</p></li></ul><p>Each type has its advantages and disadvantages.

But a general rule of thumb is to use 32 to 64 averages for shaker testing, and 4 to 8 averages for hammer impact testing.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Learn more:</strong></p><p><a class="chakra-link inline-record css-1fa4a4q" title="Modal Testing and Modal Analysis" href="https://dewesoft.com/applications/modal-analysis"><div class="chakra-stack css-14dvn9n"><div class="css-9phq98"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%;max-width:none;max-height:none"><img aria-hidden="true" alt="" src="data:image/png;base64,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" style="object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%;transition:opacity 500ms;opacity:1;position:absolute;left:-5%;top:-5%;width:110%;height:110%;max-width:none;max-height:none"/><noscript><picture><source srcSet="https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1657010343-dewesoft-modal-test.png?auto=format&w=140&dpr=0.5 70w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1657010343-dewesoft-modal-test.png?auto=format&w=140&dpr=0.75 105w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1657010343-dewesoft-modal-test.png?auto=format&w=140 140w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1657010343-dewesoft-modal-test.png?auto=format&w=140&dpr=1.5 210w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1657010343-dewesoft-modal-test.png?auto=format&w=140&dpr=2 280w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1657010343-dewesoft-modal-test.png?auto=format&w=140&dpr=3 420w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1657010343-dewesoft-modal-test.png?auto=format&w=140&dpr=4 560w"/><img src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1657010343-dewesoft-modal-test.png?auto=format&w=140" alt="Dewesoft modal test" style="position:absolute;left:0;top:0;width:100%;height:100%;max-width:none;max-height:none;object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%" loading="lazy"/></picture></noscript></div></div><div class="chakra-stack css-utf5z"><span class="chakra-text css-0">Modal Testing and Modal Analysis</span><span class="chakra-text css-1kn4uyx"></span></div></div></a></p><h4 id="" class="post-heading"><strong>FRF formulation</strong></h4><p>Having two signals, \(a(t)\) and \(b(t)\) which is input and output signals respectively, then the FRF can be obtained from:</p><style data-emotion="css 1syq16t">.css-1syq16t{padding:var(--chakra-space-2);}</style><div class="css-1syq16t">\[H(f)=\frac{B(f)}{A(f)}\]</div><p>Where \(A(f)\) and \(B(f)\) are complex spectra from a(t) and b(t).

By using data containing FRF information from multiple DOFs these curve fitters often provide better estimates for the global modal parameters (frequency and damping) than Local curve fitting does. This is because some modes might be undetectable at some (but not all) individual FRF measurements performed.</p><p>When performing global curve fitting all measurements used must contain global modes. Otherwise, the global estimation might be inaccurate.</p><h4 id="local-fitting" class="post-heading">Local fitting</h4><p>Local curve fitting is based on individual (or a small group) of real FRF measurements. Such estimators can be used when analyzing local modes of the DUT.</p><p>If all modes are global, then a global curve fitter should be used.</p><h4 id="monoreference-fitting" class="post-heading">Monoreference fitting</h4><p>Monoreference curve fitting is based on Modal Test measurements using a single reference DOF. The single reference DOF can be an excitation DOF when performing a fixed shaker test, a roving accelerometer impact test, or if the reference DOF can be a response DOF when doing a roving hammer test, for example. </p><h4 id="polyreference-fitting" class="post-heading">Polyreference fitting</h4><p>Polyreference curve fitting is based on Modal Test measurements using multiple reference DOFs, like a multi-shaker MIMO test or a roving hammer test with multiple response reference DOFs.</p><p>Polyreference curve fitting is capable of separating closely coupled modes with repeated roots. Such modes can e.g. be encountered when measuring a DUT with some symmetric dimensions. In such cases, multiple modes might have the same resonance frequency, therefore one peak can be covering multiple modes.</p><h4 id="curve-fitting-methods" class="post-heading">Curve fitting methods</h4><p>The main purpose of curve fitting is to mathematically represent the modal data in the best way possible. Many different types of modal curve fitting algorithms have been developed for this purpose. Some of these algorithms use time-domain data while others use frequency domain data. </p><p>The fitting algorithms based on time series use Impulse Response Functions (IRFs) for the parameter estimations, whereas the frequency-based algorithm uses the FRFs for the estimations. </p><p>They each have their advantages and disadvantages with respect to the dynamics of the structure (simple or complex DUT), and the number of modes to fit to (high or low order fittings).</p><p>The table below shows several commonly used curve fitting methods with their processing domain (time or frequency) and model order range best suited (high and low):</p><div class="chakra-table__container css-zipzvv"><table class="chakra-table css-1qi9lo1"><caption class="css-1r8927j">Table showing various curve fitting methods with respect to their processing domain (time or frequency) and model fitting order (high and low).

They are good for estimating accurate modal parameters with low computational effort, and they provide pretty fairly Stability Diagrams. </p><p>To estimate the mode shapes an LSFD (Least-Squares Frequency Domain) estimator is often used. The LSFD performs local estimates based on all the individual FRF measurements and the Global parameters (frequency and damping), estimated by the global curve fitter. </p><p><strong>Polyreference curve fitting </strong></p><p>Normal mono reference LSCF methods are not good at separating close-coupled modes with repeated roots. In such cases, a poly reference curve estimator is often used instead. Polyreference curve fitters are e.g. pLSCF (also referred to as PolyMax) and RFP-Z.</p><p><strong>Estimation process</strong></p><p>Many parameter estimation methods fit the measured transfer functions \(Hij(\omega)\) by a rational fraction polynomial function, based on the common-denominator transfer function model:</p><div class="css-1syq16t">\[\hat{H}_{ij}(\omega)=\frac{N_{ij}(\omega)}{D(\omega)}\] </div><p>here \(i\) and \(j\) are the numbers of measured output and input channels, respectively.</p><p>The numerator polynomial for the \(ij\)-th transfer function is defined as:</p><div class="css-1syq16t">\[N_{ij}(\omega)=\sum_{k=0} ^{n} \Omega_{k}(\omega)B_{ijk}\]</div><p>where \(\Omega<em>{k}(\omega)\) is a polynomial base function and is n the selected polynomial model order. The polynomial coefficients \(A{</em>k}\) and \(B_{ijk}\) are the parameters to be estimated to estimate the global modal parameters.</p><p>The common denominator polynomial model \(N_<em>{ij}/D\) can be fitted to the measured transfer functions \(H_{</em>ij}\) by for example minimizing a non-linear least-squares (NLS) cost function like the one shown below: </p><div class="css-1syq16t">\[l^{NLS}(A,B)=\sum_{q=1} ^{N_{i}\cdot N_{j}} \sum_{f=1}^{N_{m}}|W_{q}(\frac{N_{q}(\omega_{f},B)}{D(\omega_{f},A)}-H_{q}(\omega_{f}))^2\]</div><p>where \(W_q\) is the chosen weighting function. After minimizing such a cost function the poles and therefore the global frequency and damping parameters are determined from the roots of the denominator polynomial \(D(\omega)\).</p><h4 id="" class="post-heading"><strong>Stability diagram</strong></h4><p>A Stability Diagram (or SD) helps identify stable poles and therefore consistent modes. The poles consist of modal frequency and damping. Increasing the order of the estimation will also increase the number of estimated poles. When the estimated poles begin to only change a little between individual neighbour orders, then the poles are said to be stable.</p><p>Modal Analysis application software often provides user-defined tolerance values that can be set to determine pole stability. Such tolerances can often be specified for the frequency and damping individually. </p><p>A stable pole is selected from each mode on the Stability Diagram and then used together with the residual data to calculate the Mode Shapes of the modal model.</p><figure class="css-1bujgkd"><div style="overflow:hidden;position:relative;max-width:1024px"><img style="display:block;width:100%" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSIxMDI0IiBoZWlnaHQ9Ijc5OCI+PC9zdmc+" aria-hidden="true" alt=""/><img aria-hidden="true" alt="" src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAoHBwgHBhUTCAgLCgoXFRULDREVDh4OFQ0NFx8dGBYVIhUaKyslHh0oHRUWJDUlKC0vMjIyGSI4PTcwPCsxMi8BCgsLDg0NEA0NHDscIhwvLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vLy8vL//AABEIABMAGAMBIgACEQEDEQH/xAAXAAEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAEH/8QAIRAAAgEDBAMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAQIAERIhAwUzkTEyQgT/xAAVAQEBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAP/EABQRAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD/2gAMAwEAAhEDEQA/AOxreFzSsxryuKVko3BivEZh3BwvFmAVaa6gGYkq/vcrnSiSXWrTwOplin5HUREgVQPUdTYiSf/Z" style="transition:opacity 500ms;opacity:1;position:absolute;left:-5%;top:-5%;width:110%;height:110%;max-width:none;max-height:none"/><noscript><picture><source srcSet="https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024&dpr=0.25 256w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024&dpr=0.5 512w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024&dpr=0.75 768w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024 1024w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024&dpr=3 3072w,https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024&dpr=4 4096w"/><img src="https://www.datocms-assets.com/53444/1665646092-stability-diagram-and-mode-table.png?auto=format&fit=max&w=1024" alt="Example of a Stability Diagram and a mode table.

It is a measure of the similarity between estimated mode shape vectors from the same parameter estimation, same data set. </p><p>All the diagonal values are 1 by definition, because each mode shape correlates perfectly with itself.</p><p>AutoMAC is a good tool for determing which and how many DOFs are required in the modal analysis to avoid spatial aliasing. With spatial aliasing, some modes look similar due to the insufficient number of DOFs used in the measurements. With insufficient DOFs used there will not be enough information to describe all modes separately.</p><p>In an AutoMac plot, spatial aliasing will show high values at off-diagonal elements, indicating different modes look similar. </p><p>When a sufficient set of DOFs are included in the calculations then all modes can be nicely independent/orthogonal to each other. In such cases, the AutoMAC plot will more or less only indicate a value around 1 at the diagonal because it only correlates with itself. </p><p>The AutoMAC is defined as:</p><div class="css-1syq16t">\[AutoMAC_{rs} = \frac{|\{\Psi_r\}^T\{\Psi_s^*\}|^2}{\{\Psi_r\}^T\{\Psi_r^*\}\{\Psi_s\}^T\{\Psi_s^*\}}\]</div><p>where \(\{\Psi_r\}\) and \(\{\Psi_s\}\) are the modal vectors for mode \(r\) and mode \(s\).</p><h4 id="crossmac" class="post-heading">CrossMAC</h4><p>CrossMAC determines the consistency, or linearity, between estimated mode shape vectors from different estimations, different data sets.</p><p>CrossMAC is a good tool to use for comparison between different experimentally determined mode shapes. For example, it might be interesting to compare two sets of measurements that are using different reference DOF locations and see how consistent the modes are between them. Or, to compare two different curve-fitting algorithms used on the same set of measurements. </p><p>In addition to a comparison of different experimentally determined mode shapes, the CrossMAC can also be used to compare a set of experimentally determined mode shapes with a set of analytically determining mode shapes from Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The latter is used in Correlation Analysis. </p><p>The CrossMAC is defined as:</p><div class="css-1syq16t">\[CrossMAC_{cdr} = \frac{|\{\Psi_{cr}\}^T\{\Psi_{dr}^*\}|^2}{\{\Psi_{cr}\}^T\{\Psi_{cr}^*\}\{\Psi_{dr}\}^T\{\Psi_{dr}^*\}}\]</div><p>where \(\{\Psi_{cr}\}\) and \(\{\Psi_{dr}\}\) are different estimates of the mode shape for the same mode \(r\).</p><h3 id="mode-shape-scaling" class="post-heading">Mode shape scaling</h3><p>Unlike residues, the mode shapes are unique in shape but not in value, and can therefore be scaled freely. </p><p>Mode shape scaling can be performed in many ways, but for EMA the three most used scaling methods would be: </p><ul><li><p>Modal Mass normalization</p></li><li><p>Modal Vector Length normalization</p></li><li><p>Maximum Modal Component normalization</p></li></ul><p>If the Modal Mass is normalized to unity, then the mode shape scaling is referred to as Unity Modal Mass (UMM).</p><p>The Modal Mass does not relate to the mass of the DUT but is a mathematical property that can be chosen to have an arbitrary value other than \(0\).

Therefore, modal masses cannot be estimated, and the estimated mode shapes will be unscaled.</p><p>OMA can be used to estimate a modal model in situations where it is difficult to do EMA. For example, when monitoring running DUTs for health issues, when the size or location of the DUT makes it impractical to excite with external force, or when the operational structural conditions of the DUT must be analyzed.</p><h2 id="practical-applications-for-modal-analysis" class="post-heading">Practical applications for modal analysis</h2><h2 id="introduction" class="post-heading">Introduction</h2><p>As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Modal Analysis is heavily used in various industries to address problems with the structural dynamics of products. </p><p>In many cases, such structural dynamics problems arise due to product optimizations such as reducing weight, increasing efficiency, or simplifying the manufacturing process, which can cause problems, e.g. fatigue life, vibration comfort, and safety.</p><p>For many years the majority of practical applications for modal analysis have been in the fields of aerospace and defence, automotive, mechanical, and civil engineering, but with the rapid development of new technology, it has become more and more normal to include modal analysis across many fields and for interdisciplinary applications. </p><p>Below is a list of typical applications using Modal Analysis including indications for which modal analysis types that are most convenient for such applications EMA, ODS, and OMA:</p><p><strong>Automotive:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Analysis of car frames (body in white) - EMA </p></li><li><p>Car components (like suspensions, exhausts, and brake discs) - EMA</p></li><li><p>Engines - EMA, ODS, OMA </p></li><li><p>Fully equipped car - EMA, ODS, OMA</p></li></ul><p><strong>Aerospace and defence:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Analysis of aircraft by Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) - EMA</p></li><li><p>Aircraft components (like landing gears and control surfaces) - EMA</p></li><li><p>Engines - EMA, ODS, OMA </p></li><li><p>In-flight testing (flutter-testing) - ODS, OMA</p></li><li><p>Analysis of space launchers, (like payloads, payload fixtures, equipment racks, and on-board systems - EMA, ODS, OMA</p></li></ul><p><strong>Construction and civil industry:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Analysis of pumps and compressors - EMA, ODS, OMA </p></li><li><p>Machine Condition Monitoring - ODS, OMA</p></li><li><p>Piping systems - EMA, ODS, OMA </p></li><li><p>Shafts and bearings - EMA, ODS, OMA </p></li><li><p>Wind Turbines - ODS, OMA</p></li><li><p>Turbine blades - EMA</p></li><li><p>Machinery foundations - ODS, OMA </p></li><li><p>Bridges, dams, high-rise buildings, off-shore platforms - ODS, OMA</p></li></ul><p><strong>Audio and household equipment:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Washing machines and similar whitegoods - EMA, ODS, OMA</p></li><li><p>Loudspeakers and musical instruments - EMA, ODS, OMA</p></li></ul><h2 id="automotive" class="post-heading">Automotive</h2><p>The development of cars includes a very detailed analysis of the car frame’s structural dynamics, to ensure high safety and good comfort while driving. A car frame will have resonance frequencies that might be lightly damped. If some of these resonance frequencies will get excited when a car owner is driving, then it might be critical to change the dynamical properties of the frame, such that the structural resonances are sufficiently damped or shifted to a frequency range that isn't being excited.</p><p>Modal analysis greatly improves such modification processes by indicating the effects of proposed stiffness and damping modifications to the car frame, and by showing how to e.g. maintain the strength of the car frame while lowering its weight. </p><p>Still, the car frame should be able to withstand all crash test scenarios and still be fuel-efficient.</p><p>It will always be an ongoing battle for manufacturers to balance main parameters like safety, comfort, efficiency, and cost, and modal analysis is one of the main tools to use for optimizing and determining such a balance.</p><p>Noise in vehicles is another important aspect of the automotive industry. The source of noise in vehicles is mainly related to structure-borne noise from the vehicle components and friction noise from the tires touching the road. The transmission of such noise sources into the vehicle cabin can be investigated with the use of modal analysis, by measuring the FRF transfer functions of the airborne sound transmission into the cabin. This can provide a valuable overview of the relationship between disturbing cabin noises and specific car components. </p><h2 id="aerospace-and-defence" class="post-heading">Aerospace and defence</h2><p>The aerospace industry has been using modal analysis for many years where weight has a crucial impact on the performance of aircraft and spacecraft. In the aerospace industry, there is hard competition in fuel economy, and a lot of effort is invested in the development of new lightweight materials and components with extreme strength. </p><p>Often such developed components require computer simulation (FEM) models, which need to be verified. Modal analysis is one of the main tools used to verify such analytical models, which makes it possible to try out and believe in simulated “what-if” scenarios. </p><p>In the aerospace industry verification of computer, models are critical since the development of optimized components often goes to the limits of the linear assumptions used on the mathematical models. By performing nonlinear modal testing it can be determined where such limits are. Such tests can also show how certain non-linear effects will affect the structural dynamics and how the simulation models will begin to deviate from a similar real-life scenario.</p><p>In the same way, as the automotive industry uses modal analysis to get insight into reasons for the internal cabin noises, submarines can use modal analysis to help with investigating why certain noise patterns are propagated externally from the vehicle, thereby reducing the noise traces.</p><p>Modal analysis is used in many areas of spacecraft development, such as the development of launchpad systems. For example, it can be of great interest to know how the launchpad structure, which holds the spacecraft until it launches, vibrates when excited by forces similar to those experienced under a lift-off. Engineers might need to integrate the vibration patterns of the launchpad structure into the control system that manages the lift-off process. The modal analysis allows more realistic lift-off simulations to be tested.</p><h2 id="structural-dynamics-bridges-and-buildings" class="post-heading">Structural dynamics - bridges and buildings</h2><p>Modal analysis is used for civil structures to handle concerns regarding the impact of seismic activities and heavy winds. Such types of analyses often use response-only testing like OMA, where the structural excitations are provided only by ambient vibrations and external forces. </p><p>For example, modal analysis can show how a tall apartment building might reveal critically high deflection levels for some bending or torsional modes. After such modes have been detected it is often possible to model and implement some measures that counteract or attenuate such characteristics.</p><p>The same applies to bridges where flutter effects can occur at certain wind speeds, which can force the structure into oscillation. An example of such a fatal flutter effect is the Tacoma Narrows bridge between Tacoma, Washington, and the Kitsap Peninsula, which opened in 1940 and collapsed just four months later due to the effects of wind.</p><p><strong>Learn more:</strong></p><p><a class="chakra-link inline-record css-1fa4a4q" title="Modal Testing and Modal Analysis"
