Modal Testing

Modal Testing is an experimental structural dynamics method that identifies a system's inherent dynamic characteristics—specifically natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes—through controlled excitation and response measurement, thereby enabling the validation and updating of finite element models within the broader context of vibration validation and structural testing.
