Abstract: | The current trend in dynamic testing is towards short duration, transient testing in the field followed by detailed computer analysis of the data at some later time. For many applications, tests must be carried out in a noisy environment, such as in frequency response studies of operating machinery and vibration tests on buildings or ships where the excitation power source is small and produces a low level response compared with ambient vibration levels. The use of time domain averaging is demonstrated and it is shown to be a suitable signal enhancement procedure for testing in poor signal to noise ratio conditions, when using a transient excitation technique. The limitations and accuracy of the technique are discussed and examples of practical application are given. |
