The vibration characteristics of the structure are important parameters of structural design if want to accurately grasp the vibration characteristics of the structure, the testing methods must be proper. At the present time, pulsation, free vibration, vibrating load are the common methods, This article adopts pulsation, knocking, initial displacement, white noise sweeping, and simple harmonic waves knocking to test the vibration characteristics of the structure and studies the characteristics of those testing methods.
