Output-Only Experimental Modal Testing of Large Residential Structures and Acoustic Cavities Using Sonic Booms

In this thesis, an output-only experimental modal testing and analysis technique known as the Natural Excitation Technique (NExT) is examined for use with large residential structures and interior cavities. The technique which assumes a random, stationary input causing the response data is reviewed...
