Measurement of Join Patch Properties and Their Integration into Finite-Element Calculations of Assembled Structures

The vibration and damping characteristics of an assembled structure made of steel are investigated by an experimental modal analysis and compared with the results of a finite element modal analysis. A generic experiment is carried out to evaluate the stiffness and the damping properties of the struc...
