Hi
I have difficulty to interpret the phase angle from my frf. I would appreciate if anyone can help me with this issue.
Attached is my FRF plot. Is it correct? and why is it noisy?
If the phase at any peak changes from -180 to 180 (not 90 degrees), is it then related to the natural frequency?
It might be correct, nobody can tell from a screenshot. The phase is just telling you the amount of sin and cos in each frequency line. Usually I would not look at the phase from a single channel, it's the phase difference between 2 channels that is important.
It is 'noisy' around 20 hz because there's no signal there.
I assume you are doing two channel measurements with accelerometer and hammer/shaker with load cell. Your Phase plot look Okay, since you are only interested in Phase at Natural Frequencies. There is a lot of tutorial information on Web. Here is a quick reference: https://community.sw.siemens.com/s/article/what-is...

1. the FFT is performed over a specific time interval and characterizes that data including, that of the time window which introduces its own contribution.
2. by the way there is a danger in equating "amplitude" with FFT magnitude.

Amin,
look at higest peak, where you have enough energy to calulate correctly phase.
Seems #2 resonance 12 and 37 Hz aprox. In 12Hz it is clear the change phase shift with 90degrees at resonant frequency.
In order to well understand if your measurement is correct it is usefull to use choerence function.

Early Supplier Involvement has long been a strategy employed by manufacturers to produce innovative products. Now, it almost seems like a necessity. Because decisions made in the design phase can positively affect product quality and costs, this can help add value to OEM bottom lines. This white paper will discuss many facets of ESI, including why it’s so valuable today, what challenges limit the benefits of ESI, how cost is impacted, and more. Download Now
This white paper describes what we see as the best practices to support a sustainable engineering process for autonomous vehicle design. It exposes how to use simulation and testing in common frameworks to enable design exploration, verification and validation for the development of autonomous cars at a system, software and full-vehicle level to drive a mature product development process for automated driving.
