Since the level of vibration always depends on the natural frequencies of the system, it is important to know the modal parameters of such system to control failure and provide prevention actions. However, for many mechanical engineering machines or structures, there is a demand and necessity to determine real-life modal parameters using actual operating condition. This type of testing condition cannot be done in lab environment because most of the mechanical structure is big in size and heavy. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to study the natural frequencies of a steel plate by using Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) and Ibrahim Time Domain (ITD). Comparison of results between both approaches will be shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
