ODS Modal Testing Using a Transmissibility Chain

摘要

In this paper, we show how Operating Deflection Shapes (ODS’s) andmode shapes can be obtained experimentally from measurements thatare made using only two sensors and two short wires to connect them to amulti-channel acquisition system. This new test procedure is depicted inFigure 1. Not only is the equipment required to do a test much more costeffective, but this method can be used to test any sized test article, especiallylarge ones.
