Development of Experimental Modal Analysis Tests Using Dewesoft Software

Abstract

Development of a methodology to do Hammer test Modal Analysis using Dewesoft software. This document reports on the performance and analysis of modal tests on mechanical structures. The modal test is a method often used to determine dynamic properties of a structure, namely natural frequencies. These modal tests were carried out by hammer impact, the objective being to subject the system to one or more impacts in order to capture an acceleration in output with an accelerometer. The tests were carried out using Dewesoft software, which allows us to carry out the tests in an accurate and reliable manner. The analysis of the results will allow us to evaluate the performance of the system.
