6 1. OVERVIEW OF THE INTEGRATED TEST ANALYSIS PROCESS (ITAP)
1.10 CLOSURE
is book is intended to provide details of the Integrated Test Analysis Process, principally from
the perspective of the author’s experience over the past 52 years. It presupposes the reader’s basic
knowledge of structural dynamics technology (engineering course work, hopefully supplemented
by some graduate research and professional experience).
e previously cited references serve as essential recommended background materials. is
book, to be sure, is a personal essay. It is certainly not intended to overshadow the excellent con-
tributions of many individuals and organizations engaged in the field of analytical and experi-
mental structural dynamics. e content of this book does not follow the usual logical sequence
that is typical of foundational textbooks on structural dynamics and random data analysis. In-
stead, subject matters relevant to each of the seven key ITAP steps are presented in a manner
that supports the content of each sequential chapter.
