The objective of this study is to estimate the frequency characteristics of group walking loads based on the information of measured responses. At first, dynamic properties such as natural frequencies and modes are obtained from input/output relation for building structures by heel drop test. Second, a method to estimate group walking loads by the transfer functions from measured responses to group walking loads is proposed. The method turned out to estimate the group walking loads accurately. Higher modes could be important in estimating the amplitude of group walking loads with the information of single walking load.

In recent decades, wavelet transforms as a strong signal processing tool have attracted attention of researchers for damage identification. Apart from the wide application of wavelet transforms for damage identification, influence of higher order modes on the quality of damage detection has been a challenging matter for researchers. In this study, influence of higher order modes and different mass configurations on the quality of damage detection through Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) was studied. Nine different damage scenarios were imposed to four cantilever structures having different mass configurations. The first four mode shapes of the cantilever structures were measured experimentally and analyzed by DWT. A damage index was defined in order to study the influence of higher order modes. Results of this study showed that change in the mass configuration had a great impact on the quality of damage detection even when the changes altered natural frequencies slightly. It was observed that for successful damage detection all available mode shapes should be taken into account and measured mode shapes had no significant priority for damage detection over each other.

When the crankshaft of diesel engine has more than 3 throws, which are arranged in a different plane, its vibration induces coupled motions, especially the coupled torsional and axial vibration. Nowadays, the torsional vibration which is influenced rather weak than axial one, can be theoretically calculated fairly accurately, but theoretical calculation results of the axial vibration which is influenced strongly from torsional vibration is not so good. To get accurate calculation results of axial vibration, coupled axial-torsional vibration must be treated. In this investigation, coupled effects of vibration of diesel engine propulsion shafting are analyzed theoretically and some simple calculation methods are also studied. On this first report, effects of coupling on natural frequencies and their modes are mainly studied, setting the each mass in 4 degrees of freedom.

Experimental study is conducted for investigating the characteristics of friction-induced noise with respect to the variation of system geometry. In this study, a vertically fixed rod is in contact with the reciprocating plate which is controlled by the step motor. Friction noise is generated during the reciprocating motion due to the frictional contact between the plastic pin and the aluminum plate. The frequencies of the friction noise are changed when the height of the rod varies. However, it is found that the vibration modes involved in the friction noise are not changed. It implies that the unstable modes remain unstable regardless of the change of the system geometry, and thus, there are the certain mode shapes which are likely to produce friction noise.

The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the free vibration and buckling behaviors of hybrid composite beams having different span lengths and orientation angles subjected to different impact energy levels. The impact energies are applied in range from 10 J to 30 J. Free vibration and buckling behaviors of intact and impacted hybrid composite beams are compared with each other for different span lengths, orientation angles and impact levels. In free vibration analysis, the first three modes of hybrid beams are considered and natural frequencies are normalized. It is seen that first and second modes are mostly affected with increasing impact energy level. Also, the fundamental natural frequency is mostly affected with the usage of mold that have 40 mm span length (SP40). Moreover, as the impact energy increases, the normalized critical buckling loads decrease gradually for $0^{\circ}$ and $30^{\circ}$ oriented hybrid beams but they fluctuate for the other beams.

In order to investigate the vibration characteristics of fluid-structure interaction problem, we modeled two identical rectangular plates coupled with bounded fluid. The fixed boundary condition along the plate edges and an ideal fluid were assumed. A commercial computer code, ANSYS was used to perform finite element analysis and FEM solutions were compared with the experimental results to modify the finite element model. As a result, comparison of FEM and experiment showed good agreement, and the transverse vibration modes, in-phase and out of-phase. were observed alternately in the tluid-coupled system. The effects of distance between two rectangular plates and width to length ratio on the fluid-coupled natural frequency were investigated. And it was found that the ormalized natural frequency of the fluid-coupled system monotonically increased with an increase in the number of modes.

The dynamic characteristics of a HDD suspension system are investigated by finite element analysis and experimental modal analysis. A finite element model of the suspension Type850 was developed for unloaded case. The calculated vibration modes were compared with measurements and agree well in shape and frequency except some local modes. Local thickness and Young's modulus of the finite element model are updated by modal tuning method to develop the precise FE model. A sensitivity matrix of the natural frequencies for some design variables was calculated using finite difference method. Most natural frequencies calculated by the tuned FE model coincide with the measurements and the errors between them are less than 2%.

Two modified versions of subspace iteration method using accelerated starting vectors are proposed to efficiently calculate free vibration modes of structures. Proposed methods employ accelerated Lanczos vectors as starting iteration vectors in the subspace iteration method. To investigate the efficiency of proposed methods, two numerical examples are presented.

The problem of reconstruction of complete building response from a limited number of response measurements is considered. The response at the intermediate degrees of freedom is reconstructed by using piecewise cubic Hermite polynomial interpolation in time domain. The piecewise cubic Hermite polynomial interpolation is preferred over the spline interpolation due to its trend preserving character. It has been shown that factorization of response data in variable separable form via singular value decomposition can be used to derive the complete set of normal modes of the structural system. The time domain principal components can be used to derive empirical transfer functions from which the natural frequencies of the structural system can be identified by peak-picking technique. A reduced-rank approximation for the system flexibility matrix can be readily constructed from the identified mass-orthonormal mode shapes and natural frequencies.
