MESA Shaker Testing on Dual 300 KN Shaker System
Crystal Instruments Multi-Exciter Single- Axis (MESA) vibration test control allows users to closely replicate real-world applications according to the complex and multi-DOF nature of real vibrations. MESA vibration testing is most commonly used with higher forces on each axis and with long vertical dimensional testing units. Crystal Instruments provides the highest quality and technologically advanced solutions for MESA vibration testing and recently provided comprehensive MESA testing on a dual 300 KN shaker system at an industrial environmental testing lab.

Why does my stability diagram of a component on a system show modes that the Sum or MIF don’t show? Let's look at some measurements and see what’s going on.
There must be more to this problem than what was stated by your question. My guess is that you are performing a modal test on a structure but you are not measuring all the significant modally active portions of the system during the modal test.

Modal Analysis of Satellite using EDM Modal
The Canadian Space Agency recently performed the Modal Analysis of a RADARSAT Satellite using five modal shakers. It is important to obtain the modal analysis of the unit-under-test because information about the natural frequencies, damping coefficients and mode shapes can be used to optimize its design and improve its structural behavior. The modal parameters about the mechanical properties of a structure help users understand its vibration characteristics during operating conditions.
