The types of responses which are generally measured in the modal testing are displacement, velocity or acceleration. In strain modal testing, however, strain responses subject to excitation forces are measured. In this paper, the characteristics of strain modal testing are investigated experimentally. Investigated are the effects of frequency range, excitation force level, and excitation signal on the quality of measured strain frequency response functions. It has been shown that a strain FRF at a point can be predicted from displacement FRFs and strain FRFs at other points.
