Abstract
In this paper, a simplified finite element model to represent a riveted lap joint in structural dynamic analysis field is proposed. The rivet is modeled by spring‐damper combination elements. Several numerical models are studied with different quantities of rivets (1, 2, 3 and [...]
Abstract
Specific computer programs for identification in modal analysis of structures are not economical, and they may not always be available. This paper presents a technique for simple optimization, getting fast and quality results, in the estimation of the damping ratios for each separate [...]
Abstract
Fiber-reinforced laminated composite materials are widely used in aircraft, modern vehicles and light-weight structures. With their high elastic modulus, high strength, and capability of being tailored for a several applications, these materials offer definite advantages compared [...]
Abstract
A new alternative is presented for the estimation of modal mass, in order to scale the vibration modes obtained from operational modal analysis tests, using optimization techniques, in the frequency-independent proportional damping situation (structural or hysteretic), achieving [...]

Abstract
To determine dynamic response of mechanical system is always a complex issue. One of the core inputs for such a task is a coefficient of logarithmic damping decrement. There is no way how to determine this coefficient analytically; it needs to be measured on the final product. [...]
Abstract
The lack of standardization in vibration mode results has constituted the main shortcoming of operational modal analysis, subsequently resolved by means of the mass modification method. This is a major drawback for civil works, as it interrupts traffic on site, significantly increasing [...]
