Fast Fourier Transformation(FFT) is one of the most useful way to analyze response signal for the purpose of grasping the dynamic characteristics of system. Excitation is a factor or process making noise or vibration. It's typical and simple experimental method widely used for catching hold of dynamic peculiar characters and modal behaviors of system by frequency analysis. There are harmonic excitation, impact excitation, random excitation, sweep excitation, chirp excitation and so on as the ideal method in an experiment using exciter. In this thesis, excitation testing module for NI-PXI equipment is developed. The analyzing module is developed with LabVIEW tool. A user can generate each waveform for shaking a structure and see quickly and easily modal shape of system with this module. This developed module will be expected to build up more convenient and serviceable measurement system.

Linear motor can directly apply to the system needed linear mot ions without rotary mot ions. To control a high-speed and high-resolution, the development of the linear motors is recently required in the high-integrated and speed process industry. This paper presents vibration analyses as well as measurement standards of the newly developed linear motors through analyzing the vibration characteristics and thermal behaviors of the advanced products. Vibration experiments are conducted for identifying the hysteresis and vibration level during operation. They are also included in the modal test to analyze the vibration. Analytic data using Finite Element Method (FEM) are compared with the results of the modal. Loss of temperature generated the linear motor leads to a serious deformation within its parts. The thermal behaviors are very important factor in linear motor. The FEM and experiments make it possible to understand these characteristics.

Vibration-resistant rubbers, whose elastic and shear behaviors are similar to viscoelastic materials, are used to make bracing dampers to reduce the building vibration. Experimental study is carried out to find the vibration characteristics of the dampers installed in the building model. The natural frequencies and modal damping ratios are obtained from the free vibration test and Fourier analysis. Shaking table test is performed to find the response behavior of the building model under earthquake loading. The present experimental study shows that the bracing dampers have the behavior of viscoelastic dampers, which increase the modal damping ratios and viscoelastic characteristics.

Dynamic behaviors of the contact surface between ball and raceway in a guideway mechanism vary with the applied loads and hence affect the mechanical responses of machine tools. The study aims to investigate the nonlinear characteristics of dynamic behaviors at the rolling contact interface in linear guideway mechanisms. Firstly, analytical method was introduced to understand the contact behaviors based on Hertz contact theory in a point-to-point way. Then, the finite element approach with a three-dimensional surface-to-surface contact model and appropriate contact stiffness was developed to study the dynamic characteristics of such linear guideways. Finally, experiments with modal test were conducted to verify the significance of both the analytical and the numerical results. Results told that the finite element approach may provide significant predictions. The study results also concluded that the current nonlinear models based on Hertz's contact theory may accurately describe the contact characteristic of a linear guideway mechanism. In the modal analysis, it was told that the natural frequencies vary a little with different loading conditions; however, the mode shapes are changed obviously with the magnitude of applied loads. Therefore, the stiffness of contact interface needs to be properly adjusted during simulation which may affect the dynamic characteristics of the machine tools.

Considering dynamic behaviors according to initial tension forces, geometric nonlinearity and the effect of higher eigen modes to participate in dynamic behaviors increase as initial tension forces decrease, and from phase portrait we can realize that period attractors are produced in many area with complexity. If initial tension forxes increase, difference between linear and nonlinear solutions will decrease and the first eigen mode dominate the dynamic behaviors and observing phase portrait, period attractors appear in certain area regularly. These results may offer meaningful informations to nonlinear dynamic analysis using modal reduction methods such as Lanczos modal analysis. And actually nonlinear dynamic analysis needs very large computational efforts. So, if we determine the number of eigen modes to take part in modal analysis corresponding to initial tension forces we will get more accurate data close to exact nonlinear dynamic solutions.

In this study, vibration tests are performed on cantilevered and clamped-clamped laminated composite rectangular plates using experimental modal analysis technique. The damages are simulated by applying progressive line cracks to the laminated composite plates for damage evaluations due to crack growth. The changes of frequency response functions(FRFs), MAC values, and modal parameters (frequency, mode shape and damping ratio) of the damaged composite plates, which are obtained by the modal testing of impact hammer, are investigated. Each experimental modal parameter of the progressively damaged composite plates is compared with natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained by finite element analysis. It is seen that the damage can be evaluated from the changes in the geometric properties and structural behaviors of the laminated composite plates resulting from the model updating process of the finite element model as a benchmark.

A dynamic model for flexure hinge-based compliant mechanisms is derived. The dynamic model of the previous works do not well describe the behaviors of rigid bodies in the compliant mechanism when the length of the flexure hinge is long. In this study, the effect on the length of the flexure hinge is pointed out and then the dynamic model is derived to overcome the length effect. For verification, modal analyses are carried out using the proposed dynamic model and FEM (Finite Element Method). Finally they are compared by the terms of modal frequency. As the result, the proposed dynamic model can be used in design and analysis of the compliant mechanism.

Vibration-resistant rubbers, whose elastic and shear behaviors are similar to viscoelastic materials, are used to make brace-typed dampers to reduce the building vibration. Experimental study is carried out to find the vibration characteristics of the dampers installed in the building model. The natural frequencies and modal damping ratios are obtained from the free vibration test and Fourier analysis. Analytical model of the modal strain energy method are used to find the viscoelastic characteristics of the brace-typed dampers from the experimental results. Finally shaking table test is performed to find the response behavior of the building model under earthquake loading. The present experimental study shows that the brace-typed dampers have the behavior of viscoelastic dampers, which increase the modal damping ratios and viscoelastic characteristics.

This paper presents vibration mode control of a smart plate containing electro-rheological (ER) fluid between elastic face layers. Following the composition of a silicone oil-based ER fluid, the ER fluid-embedded plate partitioned into four sections is constructed. Then, an extensive modal test is experimentally carried out to identify field-dependent modal parameters such as mode shapes and natural frequencies of the structure with respect to different are subjected to electric fields. The distilled results from the experiment exhibit that the ER fluid can be effectively employed in a continuous fashion to tune modal behaviors of the distributed parameter systems,
