The frequency response function for structural intensity is a ratio of intensity at a response point to input power at an excitation point. At a zero frequency value, this function represents a ratio of time-averaged intensity at the receiving point to time-averaged power input at the source point,

โฆ Synopsis
New monitoring techniques, with the frequency response functions based on the higher order spectra, are proposed and developed for the monitoring of structure non-linearity and signal non-Gaussianity due to damage and estimating the harmonic phase coupling of signals from structures for cases of the phase coupled interferences of a structure excitation.
The proposed techniques are generalisations of the classical frequency response functions for the higher order spectral analysis for real valued transforms. It is shown that the proposed techniques provide an essential effectiveness gain for the detection of non-linearity due to fatigue damage in comparison with the classical HOS for the case of the phase coupled interferences of a structure excitation.

This paper is concerned with the information introduced by measured zeros from frequency response functions and its application to model assessment and updating. It is demonstrated that the sensitivities of the zeros can be expressed as a linear combination of the sensitivities of the eigenvalues (n
Applying windows to experimental data is a common practice in modal testing to minimise the effects of leakage, and the exponential window is used for the transient signals measured with impact testing and burst random excitation. Used properly, the exponential can minimise leakage errors on lightly
Frequency response function matrices relate the inputs and the outputs of structural dynamic systems. If a system is linear the frequency response function matrix is the same for any combination or types of inputs over the entire operating range. Furthermore, the frequency response matrix of a linea
The exact reanalysis of a structure is time consuming and when repeated reanalyses are needed, it is often preferable to use an approximate Ritz technique. This approximate method consists in expressing the new frequency response function as a linear combination of vectors in a truncated modal basis
