Abstract: The dynamic characteristics of a suspension assembly are examined using new numerical and experimental techniques. The p-type finite element method is used to construct a numerical model of the ...

Abstract: An experimental modal analysis system, which has been shown to be effective in the study of small structures, is utilized to analyze the interaction of the disk and the suspension assembly ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental modal analysis system which can effectively be used to obtain the modal parameters of small structures. The system uses an electromagnetic exciter to produce ...

Abstract: Damping factors of viscoelastically damped structures can be calculated using the modal strain energy method, implemented with a sequence of undamped modal analysis computations. There are significant ...
