1.9 KEY ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLES
Five key illustrative examples are employed throughout this book.
1. Abramson Model: An empty and fluid-filled circular cylindrical shell (modeled in closed
form) serves to introduce (a) the “many modes” problem, (b) important parametric sensi-
tivities, and (c) the profound effect of fluid mass on the frequency and content of structural
dynamic modes.
2. ISS P5 Modal Test: End-to-end application of the integrated test analysis project com-
pleted in 2001 details (a) modal test planning, (b) measured data analysis, (c) experimental
modal analysis, (d) test-analysis correlation, and test-analysis reconciliation, and (e) tech-
niques for identification of nonlinear test article behavior.
3. Axisymmetric Shell Structure: A FEM is used to describe approaches for (a) understand-
ing and characterizing modal dynamic characteristics, (b) selection of modal test target
modes, and (c) evaluation of the effects of imperfections and local features (modal sensi-
tivity) on otherwise axisymmetric systems.
4. ISPE Modal Test: is NASA/MSFC modal test program was completed in 2016. Inde-
pendent review activities consisted of (a) development of a sensitivity analysis convergence
test, (b) development of advanced experimental modal analysis methodology, and (c) for-
mulation of a roadmap for a highly improved integrated test analysis process.
5. Wire Rope Test: Testing of a shock and vibration isolator test article, conducted as part
of a U.S. Army Phase II SBIR ending in 2008, serves as an example for (a) measured data
analysis and (b) system identification for a highly nonlinear dynamic system.
