CURRENT CONTROLLED POWER AMPLIFIERS FOR MODAL ANALYSIS

Large range of current controlled amplifiers

The relation between the power amplifier’s output impedance and the coil’s impedance is very high

The generated current is proportional to the input voltage, independently of the coils’ movement, even at resonance

No need for force transducer

Due to the amplifier structure

Appropriation: Method of isolation of a vibration mode based on the fact that, at resonance, the velocities of all the points of the structure are in phase or out of phase with the excitation forces. This method consists in exciting the structure according to its mode shape, by defining:

This method allows the isolation of all the modes, in order to compute the modal parameters with a high accuracy

The number of excitation points

The amplitude of the forces

The position of the excitation forces

In modal analysis, it is critical to identify all the modes, even if they are close / coupled with other modes.

QUADRATURE FORCES:

With k the damping factor, Tk the inverse of the frequency and T and de frequency and quadrature rate increments

By adding a certain percentage of a quadrature excitation force to the original force, the resonance frequency varies in a linear way

T

T

By measuring the natural frequencies for different values of quadrature force rates, we can deduce the modal parameters
