During the 1980s the technology of modal testing became very widely
practised in all those engineering disciplines where vibration and
other dynamic phenomena affect the behaviour and performance of
structures and machines. The techniques involved in carrying out a
modal test were developed to a high degree of sophistication while
the applications to which the results of these tests could be put
became more numerous and more powerful. At the same time as the
advantages of modal testing were being enjoyed by an increasing
audience, some of the drawbacks of inexpert use of the technology
were being learned and recorded. These experiences reinforced the
need for a thorough understanding of fundamentals upon which modal
testing is based, and of the detailed workings of the various
phases and processes which make up a successful test.
In this book, all the steps involved in planning, executing,
interpreting and applying the results from a modal test are
described in straightforward terms. Efforts are made throughout to
ensure that the reader understands the physics of the various
stages as well as (if not before) the mathematics.
This edition has brought the previous book up to date by
including all the new and improved techniques which have emerged
during the 15 years since the first edition was written. The more
powerful applications are developed in more detail than previously
and some new topics have been introduced, notable amongst which are
the application of modal testing to rotating machinery and the use
of the scanning laser vibrometer.
