This paper presents the results of the experimental modal analysis of a wing structure along with the derivation of full mass, damping and stiffness matrices from modal parameters. Using the derived matrices, the natural frequencies of the structure were computed and compared with the experimentally determined ones. Very good correlation was found, which confirms the validity of the method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
