The output data from a structure is the building block for output-only modal analysis. The structure response in the output data, however, is usually contaminated with noise. Naturally, the success of output-only methods in determining the modal parameters of a structure depends on noise level. In this paper, the possibility and accuracy of identifying the modal parameters of a simply supported...

investigations on vibration behaviors of railway track systems were attempted in this research. this was made by conducting a comprehensive field investigation into the free vibration of track systems and response of tracks to train moving loads. in-situ modal analysis was used in a railway track field as an efficient method of investigating dynamic properties of railway track systems. natural ...
