    Abstract

    Modal Identification from Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) is a chapter of Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA) that many would consider as something from the past. Yet, in a previous work [2], a new approach to determine the modal damping factors from FRFs was proposed. Contrary to other modal identification methods which are based on the dynamic motion governing equations, the method used the dissipated energy per cycle of vibration as a starting point. The method used a plot of the sine of the phase of the receptance against its amplitude. In this paper, it will be shown that near resonant frequencies, its shape is elliptical, whereby the modal constants can be determined.
