Portable Turnkey
System for Modal Testing & Analysis |
|
The ICATS Portable Turnkey System for Modal
Testing and Structural Analysis costs not only a fraction of comparable
products but also it is self-contained for a complete modal survey
of small- and medium-size structures. It provides an excellent
introduction to modal analysis for newcomers and it also caters for
experienced vibration engineers who need to acquire and analyse data on site.
The portable system is also very useful as a means of checking &
validating results from larger laboratory-bound workstation-based systems. |

The Portable Modal Testing and Structural Analysis System
consists of: ·
Data Physics
SignalCalc ACE™ or SKF Microlog™ or HGL Dynamics
Hummingbird™ or Bruel
& Kjaer Pulse™ for data acquistion ·
Notebook computer ·
PCB hammer kit and accelerometer ·
MODENT suite of programs for modal analysis &
post-processing ·
Full documentation together with a self-teaching tutorial package ·
Modal Testing:
Theory and Practice by D. J. Ewins (2nd revised edition) Some of the features of the MODENT analysis
software include: ·
Several state-of-the-art frequency-domain modal parameter extraction
routines ·
Automatic mesh generation and local to global co-ordinate
transformation ·
Animation of experimentally- identified and/or finite element
predicted modes ·
Correlation of measured vibration properties with those from FE models
for validation ·
Non-linearity detection ·
Complex to equivalent real mode shape conversion · Support for universal files and ability to read modal data from FE programs |
