Abstract Over the past three decades vibration tests have frequently been conducted on structures and machines for the purpose of validating (updating) finite element models. Such testing is usually referred to as experimental modal analysis. The results of the vibration test are generally presented as a modal model consisting of natural frequencies, mode shapes, and modal damping factors, and the algorithms most frequently used to reduce the test data to modal-model form are time-domain algorithms. Alternatively, direct-parameter system identification may be performed, in which case the direct-parameter model consists of system mass, damping, and stiffness matrices. This paper discusses several features of a new frequency-domain direct-parameter system identification algorithm. Simulations based on a 52-DOF “payload simulator” are used to illustrate the performance of this algorithm.
