OMAX

Recent developments in modal analysis and its application to flight flutter testing

In the previous decade two new concepts in modal analysis have matured that might benefit the processing of flight flutter test data: Operational Modal Analysis with eXogenous inputs (OMAX), and the concept of transmissibility functions. OMAX is a …

Combined use of FRFs and transmissibility functions in an OMAX framework

During the recent years several new tools have been introduced in the field of Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) such as the transmissibility-based approach and the OMAX concept. Most OMA estimators assume that the ambient forces are random noise …

Frequency-domain modal analysis in the OMAX framework

Ambient noise is generally seen as an unwanted excitation that disturbs the estimation of vibration parameters. Av- eraging techniques are then used to decrease as much as possible the influence of the noise. However, this noise also excites the …

Frequency-domain modal parameter estimation in the OMAX framework

Classical Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) and Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) were recently combined into the so-called OMAX framework: Operational Modal Analysis with eXogenous inputs. In this framework both the artificial forces and the ambient …
