Abstract
Trouble shooting acoustic, vibration and controls problems has been a historical application where modal analysis has been employed to characterize the troubled system or systems. For many of the troubled systems no existing analytical models or previous test results are available. Many problems involve systems which have very high overhead or loss production cost, therefore the time required to obtain a solution is important. This paper will examine test methods and characterization techniques which are well suited to trouble shooting applications including the use of semi-autonomous and autonomous modal parameter estimation and modal modeling methods which can be used to simplify and speed up the process.
