Excitation provided by shakers. Random, Burst Random, Pseudo Random and Finger Tapping inputs have been investigated. Modal analysis with the Polymax tool. Measurement points placed along the entire surface of the aircraft, for a total number of 123 measurement points.Flight tests on a 3-rd generation aircraft. Stationary flight conditions have been investigated. Use of Operational Modal Analysis techniques for modal analysis. Development of OMA techniques in Matlab code. Development of an algorithm for an automatic tracking of modes under different flight conditions. Application of OMA during engine start, taxiing and take off to investigate the possibility of substituting traditional GVTs. Show less
