Modal testing and analysis are important processes that improve the design of a product. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure testing is carried out with optimal settings. The Shaped Random and Burst Shaped Random output excitation introduced by Crystal Instruments provides unique advantages such as a better estimation of the quality factor, damping and FRF amplitude. This indicates that the obtained modal parameters are more accurate. A modal test is carried out to examine the data to see the improvement in the results with these newly introduced techniques when compared to the conventional shaker excitation signals. The green curve shows the FRF obtained using the Shaped Random excitation and the blue curve shows the FRF obtained using the white noise excitation. As illustrated, the advantages of shaped peaks using the newly introduced approach leads to more accurate estimations of the quality factor, damping and FRF amplitude as discussed in the forthcoming sections.
