✦ Synopsis

A multivariate maximum likelihood procedure for the estimation of modal parameters is presented. The vibrating system is excited by a random force and only output sensors are used to estimate the natural frequencies and damping factors of the system. The method works in time domain and a vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) process is used. The information about modal parameters is contained in the multivariate AR part, which is estimated using an iterative maximum likelihood algorithm. This algorithm uses a score technique and output data only. The order of the AR part is obtained via the minimum description length associated with an instrumental variable procedure. Experimental results show the e!ectiveness of the method for model order selection and modal parameters estimation.

An experimental modal coupling method is investigated by applying it to a large structure tested by parts. The method is based on testing different parts of the structure with their interface coordinates loaded with rigid, heavy dummy masses. With these boundary masses, the low frequency modes conta

The determination of the six elastic stiffnesses of thin anisotropic plates from vibration tests is usually performed with numerical procedures based on the finite element or the Rayleigh-Ritz method, which both require assumptions concerning the studied mode shapes.

Asymptotic Modal Analysis (AMA) has been developed to predict the response of structures which vibrate with a large number of modes. A combined experimental and analytical approach was used to test this theory for a plate carrying concentrated masses. A thin aluminum plate both with and without poin
