Abstract

Sweep sine-wave testing is applied for the identification of dynamic characteristics of a four-point-supported square plate with free edges. The idea behind the method is to make use of free vibration time-response data such as acceleration to determine the natural frequencies and associated mode shapes. To compare with the theoretical results, detailed experimental results have been obtained for the various support locations lying at specified positions along the plate diagonals. The natural frequencies and associated mode shapes for the first five modes have been predicted, and the variation of natural frequencies with various support positions have been analyzed for the first symmetric and antisymmetric modes. It is found that the experimental results are generally in reasonable agreement with the theoretical ones.
