Popis: The existence of free boundary conditions is frequently assumed for Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) of a structure. However, free-free conditions can only be approximated because the structure must be supported in some manner. Therefore, comparing simulated data with experimental data can be deceiving, because these suspensions falsify modal parameters especially structural damping and stiffness. The current scenario of structural analysis is more towards focusing on modal updating or correlation, rather than the simulation results (FE) or the experimental results. So it is imperative to bridge the gap between FE and EMA, by carefully studying various parameters.
