A Study on the Characteristics and Applications of a Strain Modal Testing Method

변형률 모드시험방법의 특성 및 응용

A strain modal testing method has been applied to a cantilever beam to investigate the characteristics of the method. By applying the method to an analytical and an experimental system, it was shown that accurate modal parameters can be estimated from the FRFs using a current modal parameter extraction algorithm. The modal parameters estimated by the method are more accurate than those by the conventional method which uses accelerometers when the tested system is of light weight. The strain response for a given excitation force and the force which causes the response can be predicted using the measured strain FRFS.
