At the end of its development cycle, a new truck variant is exposed to vibration tests, both in laboratory conditions by means of a 4-shaker test rig and in real road tests on a proving ground. The idea is to extend the use of these test data by applying Operational Modal Analysis and by being able to correlate the analysis results with Finite Element predictions. Basically, the only feasible w...

-The performance of dynamic property of the mount is influenced by multiple factors and strongly depends on the working conditions. This means that the modal parameters of powertrain mounting system would make changes under different operating conditions. A novel approach to simulate the actual working condition is proposed in the testing of dynamic stiffness. Then the mechanical model of power...

The Complex Mode Indicator Function (or CMIF) is a popular spatial domain modal parameter estimation technique that utilizes the singular value decomposition of the frequency response function matrix for estimating the modal parameters of the system. Due to several advantages like identification of closely spaced modes, this technique is extremely popular for modal parameter estimation purposes...

Operational Modal Analysis was originally invented for vibration analysis on civil engineering structures exposed to ambient excitation being purely stochastic and broadband in nature. When performing Operational Modal Analysis on civil or mechanical engineering structures with dominating rotating parts, the original algorithms are often inadequate in providing accurate results due to determini...
