This paper proposes the method of experimental structural dynamic modification of fixture for environmental vibration test control. This method can predict the responses at any points on the fixture utilizing the experimental data, and structural dynamic modification of fixture is made using the predicted responses for the spectra at the specimen attachment points to meet the specified reference spectrum. From the results of controlling the fixture before and after modification by conventional control method and optimal reference spectrum, which has been previously reported by the authors, the proposed method is shown to be an effective one.

A great deal of effert has been invested in upgrading the performance and the efficiency of mechanical structures. Using experimental modal analysis(EMA) or finite element analysis(FEA) data of mechanical structures, this performance and efficiency can be effectively evaluated. In order to analyze complex structures such as automobiles and aircraft, for the sake of computing efficiency, the dynamic substructuring techniques that allow to predict the dynamic behavior of a structure based on that of the composing structures, are widely used. By llinking a modal model obtained from EMA and an analytical model obtained from FEA, the best conditioned structures can be desinged. In this paper, a new algorithm for structural dynamic modification-SRFSM (substructure response function sensitivity method) is proposed by linking frequency responce function synthesis and response function sensitivity. A mehtod to obtain response function sensitivity using direct derivative of mechanical impedance, is also used.

The structural modification to install a heavy sensor was made at the front extremities of the foreign-produced helicopter operated in the Korea Navy Mounting the sensor directly to the nose structure is unlikely to be practical because it lowers a dynamic mode of the airframe close to rotor blade passing frequencies, leading to increased helicopter vibration. Unfortunately we have no information on dynamic characteristics of the imported helicopter. So the experimental modal model derived from shake testing on the overall airframe of a working helicopter was used to solve the sensor Installation problems. The sensitivity analysis was done to evaluate what the best of modification woo)d be. Simple ID model and experimental modal data for mount system with sensor were Incorporated into overall dynamic model to assess the effects of the sensor installation on helicopter. Modal testing for the modified helicopter shows that the airframe modes are sufficiently displaced from rotor passing frequencies. The mount system has been proven fight to be sufficiently stable to meet vibration-level requirement for all required operational profiles.

Vibration test fixture is used in random vibration control testing. The specified reference spectrum should be transmitted equally to the specimen attachment points on the fixture. In most practical cases, however, spectrum at each of specimen attachment points may be quite different from the specified reference spectrum because of the dynamic characteristics of vibration test fixture. This paper proposes the method of experimental dynamic modification of fixture system for vibration test so that the reference spectrum can be transmitted to the specimen attachment points without distortion. The stiffness of mounts of specimen and the thickness of fixture are considered as design variables. The frequency response functions of specimen used for input data are obtained from vibration testing, and the frequency response functions of fixture are obtained from finite element modeling. The sensitivities of frequency response functions at specimen attachment points to the mount stiffness are derived from synthesis method of transfer function. And the sensitivities to the thickness of fixture are also derived from finite element modeling. The presented method is verified by computer simulation and vibration testing.

Many investigations about the dynamic analysis of the structural system based on the BBA(Building Block Approach) method which predict dynamic characteristics of synthesized structures from each structure. But it is actually sometimes difficult to remove mounts from structures. In this paper, TFSM(The Transfer Function Separation Method) is developed which can predict dynamic characteristics of separated structures from the data of vibrational experiment of the synthesized structures. By combining TFSM with BBA, this paper also proposes the method which can predict dynamic characteristics of mount-modified structure without removing mounts from structures. And the proposed method is verified by the experimental data of plates.

The purpose of this paper is to reduce the level of idling vibration on a steering wheel. In some cases, vibration on steering wheel is amplified due to the resonance between the first natural frequency of T-beam and engine idling speed. Using SDM(structural dynamic modification) technique, T-beam is redesigned to reduce its vibration. This paper used FRF(frequency response function) synthesis technique which is entirely dependent on experiment. But this method requires lots of test efforts to enhance its reliability of design. While combining this method with an analytic method. the experimental burden, the major drawback of FRP synthesis method, can be considerably relieved. Using ana1ytic sensitivity analysis, some effective modification regions are preliminarily chosen as candidate Positions where SDM can be applied to modify T-beam\`s dynamic characteristics.

The main noise and vibration source of the BLDC rotary compressor for air conditioner was analyzed by using the measurement of noise and vibration, noise contour, and experimental modal analysis. The source is presumed to the mechanical resonance excited by the electromagnetic attractive force of the BLDC motor. To reduce the excessive noise of the BLDC rotary compressor due to the mechanical resonance, air-gap enlargement and structural dynamic modification were applied in this paper. Its validations were conducted by the analysis of the electromagnetic attractive force which is generated by the BLDC motor and by the measurement of noise and vibration of the BLDC rotary compressor. By enlarging the length of air-gap and conducting the structural dynamic modification, the noise and vibration in the compressor was significantly improved by 4.5 dB(A) and 56 percent, respectively.

Structural modification in the electrical cabinet is investigated by a proposed procedure that comprises of an experimental, analytical and numerical solution. This research emphasizes the linear dynamic analysis of the cabinet that is studied under the seismic excitation to demonstrate the real behavior of the cabinets in NPP. To this end, an actual electric cabinet is experimentally tested using an impact hammer test which reveals the fundamental parameters of the cabinet. The Frequency-domain decomposition (FDD) method is used to extract the dynamic properties of the cabinet from the experiment which is then used for numerical modeling. To validate the dynamic properties of the cabinet an analytical solution is suggested. The calibrated model is analyzed under the floor response obtained from the Connecticut nuclear power plant structure excited by Tabas 1978 (Mw 7.4) earthquake. Eventually, the grouping effect of the cabinets is proposed which represents the influence on the dynamic modification. This grouping of the cabinets is described more sophisticatedly by the theoretical understating, which results in a significant change in the seismic response. Considering the grouping effects will be helpful in the assessment of the real seismic behavior, design, and performance of cabinets.

An experimental modal analysis and dynamic stiffness evaluation of a moving body structure of a high speed machining center are presented in this paper. The natural frequencies and corresponding modes, and dynamic compliance of a moving body structure of high speed machining center are investigated by using F.E.M., hydraulic exciter test, and impulse hammer test. The lowest three natural frequencies were found to be 56.6 Hz, 112.7 Hz, and 142.7 Hz by FEA respectively, while those were 55 Hz, 112 Hz, 131 Hz by experimental analysis. Furthermore, both computed and measured absolute dynamic compliances of the moving body structure in iso-direction showed good agreement especially at the first two mode frequencies. With our experimental data, the dynamic characteristics of the machining center can be exploited to get a new development of structural dynamic design and modification.
