Modal Testing: Theory and Practice (Engineering Dynamics)
(A survey of the technology of modal testing, a new method...)
A survey of the technology of modal testing, a new method for describing the vibration properties of a structure by constructing mathematical models based on test data rather than using conventional theoretical analysis. Shows how to build a detailed mathematical model of a test structure and analyze and modify the structure to improve its dynamics. Covers techniques for measuring the mode, shapes, and frequencies of practical structures from turbine blades to suspension bridges.

Modal Testing: Theory, Practice, and Application
(All the steps involved in planning, executing, interpreti...)
All the steps involved in planning, executing, interpreting and applying the results from a modal test are described in straightforward terms. This edition has brought the previous book up to date by including all the new and improved techniques that have emerged during the 15 years since the first edition was written, especially those of signal processing and modal analysis. New topics are introduced, notable amongst them are the application of modal testing to rotating machinery and the use of scanning laser vibrometer.
