Experimental modal analysis (EMA) presents a sophisticated analysis method in the area of structural dynamical measuring technology. It is aimed at the determination of the decisive vibration properties of machines and components, i. e. 

• natural frequencies,
• mode shapes and
• modal damping ratios.

Especially when dealing with structures showing non-linear properties we possess special methodological know-how for conducting EMAs.

For this purpose there is comprehensive measuring and testing equipment at our disposal:

• 40-channel data aquisition system with sample- and hold-function,
• corresponding equipment of acceleration sensors,
• laser-scanning vibrometer,
• various impulse hammers and shakers for excitation purposes,
• 3D-digitizer for the geometric measuring of structural and measuring points,
• vibration-free foundation for the setting of the test specimens,
• devices for the "free-free" suspension of the test specimens.
