Theoretical and Experimental Modal Analysis of a Rotor Test Rig.

Abstract

As part of a programme for understanding the vibration of shipboard machinery a modal analysis was performed on an experimental rig consisting of a rotor/motor assembly connected to a base plate mounted on a test bed. Two methods were used; firstly a modal software package for the calculation of modal parameters from experimental data and secondly a theoretical model using the coupling of dynamic stiffness matrices.
