To estimate the modal parameters of Excavator Cab by conducting Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) Modal Analysis test. MIMO testing is done to obtain Frequency response functions(FRF’s) either with two or more fixed inputs of forces and multiple outputs(called Input referencing) or with fixed multiple outputs and multiple inputs(called Output referencing). In the present testing, fixed inpu...

This paper reviews the theoretical principles of subspace system identification as applied to the problem of estimating black-box state-space models of support-excited structures (e.g., structures exposed to earthquakes). The work distinguishes itself from past studies by providing readers with a powerful geometric interpretation of subspace operations that relates directly to theoretical struc...

Continuous-scan laser Doppler vibrometry (CSLDV) is a method whereby one continuously sweeps the laser measurement point over a structure while measuring, in contrast to the conventional scanning LDV approach where the laser spot remains stationary while the response is collected at each point. The continuousscan approach can greatly accelerate measurements, allowing one to capture spatially de...

An overview of the major development of operational modal identification is presented. It includes four time domain approaches, i.e. NExT-type, ARMAV model-based, stochastic realization-based, stochastic subspace-based methods, and two frequency domain approaches, i.e. FDD-type and output-only LSCF-type methods. The internal relation with traditional modal identification using input/output meas...

Adaptive control of a flexible continuous structure is investigated. The application is directed toward large sensor count and several actuator systems,(multiple input / multiple output (MIMO) control. Conventional large channel count control applications involve complicated techniques to determine the proper order of the model and the dominant modes to be controlled. Using spatial filtering to...

Reduced-order mass weighted proper orthogonal decomposition (RMPOD), smooth orthogonal decomposition (SOD), and state variable modal decomposition (SVMD) are used to extract modal parameters from a nonuniform experimental beam. The beam was sensed by accelerometers. Accelerometer signals were integrated and passed through a high-pass filter to obtain velocities and displacements, all of which w...

The paper summarizes the results of recent ambient vibration tests and operational modal analyses carried out on the new curved cable-stayed bridge erected in the Commercial Harbour of Porto Marghera (Venice, Italy). The ambient vibration tests were carried out as a part of the reception tests of the bridge before its opening and included the recordings of the system response in selected points...
