Abstract
Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) is very helpful in engineering design and manufacturing of machine components. In this paper, modal parameters which are natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios are extracted for free-free boundary conditions circular shaft, using EMA, then two disks are added to this shaft as second case study. EMA has been verified as effective and accurate tool, despite of increasing geometrical complexity and nonlinear behaviour of the structure. The two well-known excitation techniques (i.e. impact hammer and shaker) are used for this purpose. For validation, natural frequencies and mode shapes are determined analytically and numerically by Finite Element Modelling (FEM) ANSYS 15 workbench software, and then compared with results obtained experimentally. Noticeable remarks about these approaches are listed. Coherence plots are compared between impact and shaker tests. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) settings like windows type and sample (record) time are compared. The recommended DSP settings mentioned in this work can be used as a general guidance for researchers and people who are working in modal analysis.
