Abstract

Realization of modal analysis in a wide spectrum of applications has been established since decades. The dynamic characteristics obtained from analytical and experimental modal analysis helped researchers as well as engineers to determine the dynamic behavior of structures and assemblies. Extensive research work is given to the detection and evaluation of damages in mechanical structures using knowledge of modal frequencies and mode shapes. The fact that the dynamic characteristics thus obtained, are influenced by the structure’s physical and mechanical properties has inspired many researchers, recently to use modal analysis as a tool for the identification of mechanical properties and remaining life prediction of manufactured components. It is not the intention of the authors in this paper to investigate the knowhow of each of the applications mentioned within the scope of the paper; since the reader can obtain detailed information of most of the applications from the respective references written at the end of this paper. The main objective of this paper, is to summarize different important applications of modal analysis and classify these applications into three main categories; quality assessment, material characterization, and life prediction. The work also describes what has been studied in each category and provides an insight for researchers on what still needs to be achieved. Accordingly; the authors introduce a new application that will revolutionize the basis on which engineering design is traditionally used, by the fact that it is better testing the product instead of testing the material from which the product will be made. This new philosophy is currently worked upon by the authors.
