Abstract
Fundamental concepts for the characterization of the dynamical response of SDOF and NDOF systems are provided. A description is given of the main techniques to represent the response in the frequency domain and its experimental characterization. Two classical procedures of modal parameter identification are outlined and selected numerical and experimental examples are reported.
