36 EXPT 6 PROCEDURE: MODES OF VIBRATION OF A SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM (To be performed directly V 211) Compute the first two natural frequencies of the beam theoretically before doing the experiment. Measure all dimensions of the beam Excite the beam into free-damped vibrations with special impact hammer gently. Feed the voltage from impact hammer to first channel of oscilloscopes. Feed sensor responses to other channels of oscilloscopes. Carry out FFT of both force and response, and obtain frequency response function (FRF) as the ratio of response to force. Do this for all sensors. Obtain first two mode using absolute value of the real/ imaginary part of FRF, taking help from the frequencies computed in the first step (browse down to learn the procedure). SUGGESTED READING: Paz (2004); Chopra (2001) Peter Avitable s website:

37 EXPERIMENTAL MODAL ANALYSIS Modal analysis is a process whereby the structure is described in terms of its natural dynamic characteristics, namely the natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping. Accelerometer Voltage measuring device ISMB 150 Shaker Stinger Function Generator Let us apply a sinusoidal signal of constant amplitude, but vary the frequency gradually.

38 TIME AND FREQUENCY DOMAINS Time domain response Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) Natural frequencies Natural frequencies Frequency domain response The frequency domain response is much easier to evaluate as compared to the time domain.

39 MODE SHAPES MODE 2 MODE 1 MODE 3 Mode shape is the deformation pattern of the structure at when excited at a particular natural frequency.

40 FREQUENCY RESPONSE FUNCTION (FRF) It is the ratio of the output response (strain/ displacement/ velocity/ acceleration of a structure (undergoing vibration) at a point to the force applied at the same or other point, at a particular frequency. Both the force and the response are simultaneously measured. FRF (ω) : h( ω) = u F = uoe F e o j( ωt φ ) jωt = u F o o e jφ Unique function of structural stiffness, damping and mass In this experiment, we will measure strain and hence our mode shapes will be strain mode shapes

41 MODE SHAPES FROM FRF h ij = Response at i due to force applied at j. j i, j = 1, 2, 3. h 11 = Response at 1 due to force at 1 h 12 = Response at 1 due to force at 2 h 13

42 MODE SHAPES FROM FRF Similarly, we can experimentally derive: h 21 h 22 h 23 Response at 2, point of impact varied. and also h h 32 h 33 Response at 3, point of impact varied h 31 h 32 h 33 of impact varied. IF THE STRUCTURE IS LINEARLY ELASTIC, WHAT IS THE RELATION BETWEEN: h ij AND h ji MUST BE EQUAL SINCE MAXWELL-BETTI S THEOREM STATES: The displacement at a point due to unit load at the other point is equal to that at the other point due to unit load applied at the first point.

43 MODE SHAPES FROM FRF h 11 h 12 h 13 h 11 h 12 h 13 h 21 h 22 h 23 h 21 h 22 h 23 h 31 h 32 h 33 h 31 h 32 h 33 Real part of FRF Imaginary part of FRF

44 MODE SHAPES FROM FRF In general, e any one row can provide us all the mode shapes. Let us use the imaginary part of the third row i.e h 3j i.e the measurement point is same, excitation point is varied. In all, only one sensor required. MODE 1 f 1 h 31 =h 13 h 32 =h 23 h 33 f 1 f 1 MODE 2 f 2 f 2 f 2 f2 f 2 MODE 3??? Try yourself.

45 Since h ij = h ji MODE SHAPES FROM FRF Any one column can also be used in place of a row. If say the third column is used i.e h j3 i.e three measurement points, one excitation point. Can use three sensors with simultaneous measurements and thus acquire all data in a single go. Or can also repeat three times with one sensor, each time changing position of the sensor. This is called as roving of sensors.
