An output-only modal analysis (OMA) approach is presented to obtain the direct frequency response function (FRF) at the tip of the tool in micromilling setups. White noise input is provided using acoustic excitation and the resulting vibrations are measured using a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). Autoregressive (AR) identification is used to extract the natural frequencies and damping ratios of the structural modes of the milling setup, and mass-sensitivity analysis is used to obtain modal stiffness values. The accuracy of the tool tip FRFs that are constructed using OMA is verified by comparing them against the FRFs that are measured using impulse hammer tests. The direct FRF at the tool tip is an essential component in predicting and avoiding excessive and unstable vibrations in milling operations, and the presented approach provides a practical method for the direct measurement of the tool tip FRF in micromilling where the application of traditional hammer tests is not possible.

Non-destructive methods of structural testing are preferred to identify their current state because they do not damage the structure. Modal analysis is one of these methods that can be used for a comprehensive assessment of structural measurements. Its main advantage is that it can be used for variety applications. The paper presents an application of operational modal analysis to determine modal parameters of a laboratory steel truss structure. Its goal is to make contribution to the still unfinished development of modal analysis in the area of comprehensive application. There is important to try to use it and especially try to derive some basic generally applicable rules. It is an important step for experimental modal analysis before it can be widely used and accepted in engineering applications.

In the far north, low temperatures and atmospheric icing are a major danger for the safe operation of wind turbines. It can cause several problems in fatigue loads, the balance of the rotor and aerodynamics. With the aim of improving the rigidity of the wind turbine blade, composite materials are currently being used. A numerical work aims to evaluate the effect of ice on composite blades and to determine the most adequate material under icing conditions. Different ice thicknesses are considered in the lower part of the blade. In this paper, modal analysis is performed to obtain the natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes of the structure. This analysis is elaborated using the finite element method (FEM) computer program through ABAQUS software. The results have laid that the natural frequencies of the blade varied according to the material and thickness of ice and that there is no resonance phenomenon.

Hysteresis is one of the non-linearity characteristics of the piezoelectric material. This characteristic is important to be characterized since it can affect the performance of the piezoelectric material as sensor or actuator in many applications. In this study, the model of the coupled aluminium beam with single piezoelectric patch material is constructed to investigate the hysteresis effect of the piezoelectric material to the whole beam structure. A P-876 DuraActTM type piezoelectric patch material is used in modelling of the piezoelectric actuator. Firstly, the modal analysis of the coupled beam-piezoelectric actuator is determined to get the natural frequencies and mode shapes. Then, the piezoelectric patch material is investigated in terms of actuator by given a sinusoidal voltage excitation and output in terms of deflection, stress and strain of the piezoelectric actuator are investigated. From the results, it is clear that, the coupled beam-piezoelectric material is affected by the hysteresis of the piezoelectric material and the natural frequencies of the beam structure. This characteristic is important for the piezoelectric actuator manufacturer and by providing the correction algorithm, it can improve the performance of the piezoelectric actuator for many applications.

The output-only modal analysis for bridge structures based on improved empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is investigated in this study. First, a bandwidth restricted EMD is proposed for decomposing nonstationary output measurements with close frequency components. The advantage of bandwidth restricted EMD to standard EMD is illustrated by a numerical simulation. Next, the modal parameters are extracted from intrinsic mode function obtained from the improved EMD by both random decrement technique and stochastic subspace identification. Finally, output-only modal analysis of a railway bridge is presented. The study demonstrates the mode mixing issues of standard EMD can be restrained by introducing bandwidth restricted signal. Further, with the improved EMD method, band-pass filter is no longer needed for separating the closely spaced frequency components. The modal parameters extracted based on the improved EMD method show good agreement with those extracted by conventional modal identification algorithms.

A new method has been developed for sensitivity calculations of modal characteristics of bladed disks made of anisotropic materials. The method allows the determination of the sensitivity of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of mistuned bladed disks with respect to anisotropy angles that define the crystal orientation of the monocrystalline blades using full-scale finite element models. An enhanced method is proposed to provide high accuracy for the sensitivity analysis of mode shapes. An approach has also been developed for transforming the modal sensitivities to coordinate systems used in industry for description of the blade anisotropy orientations. The capabilities of the developed methods are demonstrated on examples of a single blade and a mistuned realistic bladed disk finite element models. The modal sensitivity of mistuned bladed disks to anisotropic material orientation is thoroughly studied.

AbstractIn this paper the concept of generalized form of proportional damping is proposed. Classical modal analysis of non-conservative continua is extended to multi DOF linear dynamic systems with asymmetric matrices. Mode orthogonality relationships have been generalized to non-conservative systems. Several discretization methods of continua are presented. Finally, an expression for derivatives of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of non-conservative system is presented. Examples are provided to illustrate the proposed methods.
