With the purpose of realizing the analysis of mechanical structure dynamic characteristics and inhibit vibration and noise, combined with the analysis of a certain type of high speed sewing machines vibration characteristics, we carry on the concrete experimental modal analysis, and compare the results of the experimental modal analysis with the results of spectrum analysis. The analysis results show that the second order natural frequency of the shell is close to two octaves under the normal working speed of sewing machine and it will lead to resonance. Enhancing the structural rigidity and the natural frequency under this modal to avoid resonance frequency is the key to improve vibration resistance of the structure.

During the recent years several new tools have been introduced by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel in the field of Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) such as the transmissibility based approach and the the frequency-domain OMAX concept. One advantage of the transmissibility based approach is that the ambient forces may be coloured (non-white), if they are fully correlated. The main advantage of the OMAX concept is the fact that it combines the advantages of Operational and Experimental Modal Analysis: ambient (unknown) forces as well as artificial (known) forces are processed simultaneously resulting in improved modal parameters. In this paper, the transmissibility based output-only approach is combined with the input/output OMAX concept. This results in a new methodology in the field of operational modal analysis allowing the estimation of (scaled) modal parameters in the presence of arbitrary ambient (unknown) forces and artificial (known) forces.

Frequency Domain Decomposition

As natural frequencies and mode shapes are often a key to understanding dynamic characteristics of structural elements, modal analysis provides a viable means to determine these properties. This paper investigates the dynamic characteristics of a healthy and unhealthy condition of a commercially used helical gear using the Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD) identification algorithm in Operational Modal Analysis (OMA). For the unhealthy condition, a refined range of percentage of defects are introduced to the helical gear starting from one (1) tooth being defected (1/60 teeth) to six (6) teeth being defected (6/60 teeth). The specimen is tested under a free-free boundary condition for its simplicity and direct investigation purpose. Comparison of the results of these varying conditions of the structure will be shown to justify the validity of the method used. Acceptable modal data are obtained by considering and accentuating on the technical aspects in processing the experimental data which are critical aspects to be addressed. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are obtained through automatic and manual peak-picking process from Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) plot using Frequency Domain Decomposition (FDD) technique and the results are validated using the established Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) indicator. The results indicate that OMA using FDD algorithm is a good method in identifying the dynamic characteristics and hence, is effective in detection of defects in this rotating element

Modular Structures

The modal properties of modular structures, such as their natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes, are different than those of conventional structures, mainly due to different structural systems being used for assembling prefabricated modular units onsite. To study the dynamic characteristics of modular systems and define a dynamic model, both the modal properties of the individual units and their connections need to be considered. This study is focused on the former aspect. A full-scale prefabricated volumetric steel module was experimentally tested using operational modal analysis technique under pure ambient vibrations and randomly generated artificial hammer impacts. It was tested in different situations: [a] bare (frame only) condition, and [b] infilled condition with different configurations of gypsum and cement-boards light-steel framed composite walls. The coupled module-wall system was instrumented with sensitive accelerometers, and its pure and free vibration responses were synchronously recorded through a data acquisition system. The main dynamic characteristics of the module were extracted using output-only algorithms, and the effects of the presence of infill wall panels and their material are discussed. Then, the module’s numerical micromodel for bare and infilled states is generated and calibrated against experimental results. Finally, an equivalent linear strut macro-model is proposed based on the calibrated data. The contribution of this study is assessing the effects of different infill wall materials on the dynamic characteristics of modular steel units, and proposing simple models for macro-analysis of infilled module assemblies.

Before And After

For the relatively strong vibration caused by a three-wheeled motorcycle exhaust system and raised the level of the noise in the whole motorcycle, this paper combines the experimental modal analysis method and finite element analysis (FEA) method, establishes finite model of the exhaust system, finishes the experimental modal analysis and transient response analysis based on Hyperworks software and laboratory equipment, and obtains six natural frequencies and mode shapes. Comparison has been made between acceleration RMS changes before and after the mounting points changed with the transient excitations. At the end, the document also verifies better results after the improvement and found the basement of reducing noise in the next step.

Arch Bridge

Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) is a one of the most popular method to extract the dynamic characteristics from ambient vibration response signals. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a model of steel arch bridge with a bolt connection constructed in a 6.10 m span and 1.88 m height laboratory were determined by finite element method and operational modal analysis methods. Firstly, finite element model was created in SAP2000 software of model steel system and dynamic characteristic were obtained numerically. Then, accelerometers were placed where the displacements are high on points of the system and dynamic characteristics were determined by operational modal analysis method. The aim of this study is to obtain the dynamic parameters (frequency, damping ratio, mode shapes) of the model of the steel arch bridge accurately and reliably by operational modal analysis method by making use of ambient vibrations in the laboratory conditions. For this purpose, analytical analysis of the model of the steel arch bridge with finite element method and the dynamic parameters obtained as a result of the operational modal analysis of the model steel arch bridge were compared. Also, the modal assurance criterion (MAC) was used. Good compatibility was recognized between the results obtained for experimental and numerical procedures in terms of both the natural frequency and the mode of vibration. At the end of this study, reasonable correlation is obtained between mode shapes, frequencies and damping ratios. Analytical and Operational modal frequencies differences between 0.139 %–7.170 %.
