Many applications of aircraft require using dedicated elements of equipment attached to the fuselage or wings. These elements change aerodynamic properties of the aircraft. They modify spatial mass distribution and local stiffness in the attachment place. Structural dynamics of the modified airframe is usually investigated with use of the numerical analysis techniques. Verification of results of such the analysis is carried out experimentally. The basic method of testing is the experimental modal analysis. In the paper, there is presented an exemplary application of the experimental modal analysis to testing of a modified airplane structure with a search-light covered by its fairing attached under a wing. The described experiments consisted of the ground as well as the in-flight tests. The paper reports description and results of the experiments.

The Stability

In this chapter, dynamic field measurements of three full-scale operational Tainter gates are documented. Measurements of the in-air gate structural dynamics were made when feasible or were simulated using FEM analysis when physical measurement was not possible. In-water structural dynamics were documented using experimental modal analysis with gate excitation supplied by the sudden tension failure of a carefully machined steel rod. The field measurements permitted assessments of the stability of each gate and these assessments are compared with theoretical predictions. Two gates were found to be stable and one was determined to have a potential instability. Theoretical predictions are shown to agree with the experimental results from field measurements.

Abstract Experimental modal analysis of a violin with three different tensions of a bass bar has been performed. The bass bar tension is the only intentionally introduced modification of the instrument. The aim of the study was to find differences and similarities between top plate modal parameters determined by a bass bar perfectly fitting the shape of the top plate, the bass bar with a tension usually applied by luthiers (normal), and the tension higher than the normal value. In the modal analysis four signature modes are taken into account. Bass bar tension does not change the sequence of mode shapes. Changes in modal damping are insignificant. An increase in bass bar tension causes an increase in modal frequencies A0 and B(1+) and does not change the frequencies of modes CBR and B(1-).

Experimental modal analysis is a relatively young part of dynamics, which deals with the vibration modes identification of machines or their parts. Its development has started since the beginning of the eighties, when the computers hardware equipment has improved and the fast Fourier transform (FFT) could be used for the results determination. Nowadays it provides an uncountable set of vibration analysis possibilities starting with conventional contact transducers of acceleration and ending with modern noncontact optical methods. In this contribution we mention the use of high-speed digital image correlation by experimental determination of mode shapes and modal frequencies. The aim of our work is to create a program application called Modan 3D enabling the performing of experimental modal analysis and operational modal analysis. In this paper the experimental modal analysis of a thin steel sample performed with Q-450 Dantec Dynamics is described. In Modan 3D the experiment data were processed and the vibration modes were determined. The reached results were verified by PULSE modulus specialized for mechanical vibration analysis.
