    How to interprete the FRF phase and imaginary plots?

    Thanks electricpete for your detailed explanation. I really appreciate and, due to my poor background, I will need some time to go through your comments and digest them. I will come back soon... Thank you very much

    How to interprete the FRF phase and imaginary plots?

    Hi Dr Michael F Platten, Thanks for your recommendation. Fortunately the book you recommended is available in our library.

    How to interprete the FRF phase and imaginary plots?

    Thanks electricpete and GregLocock. Based on your comments, I tried to sketch the individual phase plots for Mode-1 and Mode-2 in Fig-3 (or modified as below). Let's say RED curve is the phase plot of Mode-1, BLUE curve is the phase plot of Mode-2, and GREEN is the effective phase plot. Please...

    Is "performing Impact Hammer test" an ART?

    Hi GregLocock, Thanks for your replies and suggestions, which are practical knowledge and very useful.

    PolyReference/PolyMAX and Agilent 35670A

    Hi GregLocock, Thanks for your reply. You mentioned that "... with such light symmetrical structure the mode shapes will rotate around and follow your accelerometer". I do not fully understand the underlined part. Would you please kindly advise? I will try to increase the frequency...

    How to interprete the FRF phase and imaginary plots?

    Hi GregLocock, Thanks for your reply. In your reply, you mentioned that "... where their magnitude lines cross, they are thus equal and opposite." Can I say that because of "... and opposite", the effective magnitude, as shown in Fig-1[a] drops or "trends" to zero? By the way, how does mode-3...

    Is "performing Impact Hammer test" an ART?

    Hi GregLocok, Thanks for your reply. I have some experimental results here: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=253310&page=1 I will be glad if you could comment and provide some advices to improve my coherence plots. Thank you very much

    PolyReference/PolyMAX and Agilent 35670A

    I have an Agilent 35670A. I carried out impact hammer tests and tried to find out the resonance frequencies of a simple structure (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=253310&page=1). Someone replied that "...no-one uses curve fits to the Nyquist plot any more for modal analysis (because...

    How to interprete the FRF phase and imaginary plots?

    The following information was extracted from this article: http://macl.caeds.eng.uml.edu/umlspace/oct03.pdf Kindly refer to Fig-1 and Fig-2. As stated in Fig-2: "...This is due to the fact that the magnitude of the FRF of mode 1 and mode 2 is equal at the anti-resonant frequency. But at this...

    Do with need a sound pressure level meter with a 'ball'?

    Oh I see... In my experimental, there is a blower around. So, I need the ball... Thanks.

    Do with need a sound pressure level meter with a 'ball'?

    When using sound pressure level meter, does it really matter to use it with the 'ball' or without the 'ball' as shown in figure below. Thank you very much

    Is it TRICKY to measure armature winding resistance?

    Hi BobM3, Thanks for your reply. I have no access to the brush/commutator assembly. There are two pair of leads out of the motor. One of them is for field winding, whilst another pair is for armature winding. I place the 4-wire probe across the armature winding and I find out the measurement is...

    Which one is RESONANCE peak?

    Hi Dr MikeyP, Thanks for your advices. My background is electrical engineering and therefore I do not have much knowledge regarding modal analysis. I really hope that you will help and guide me to clear my doubts on impact hammer test. You mentioned that "... there are probably 5 modes"...
