Measuring vs modelling modes

This Mikroniek article discusses the value of experimental structural dynamics, highlighting its role in mitigating risks by verifying system dynamics and bridging gaps between model predictions and real-world performance. Two key techniques, experimental modal analysis (EMA) and transmissibility measurements, are explored, showing how they identify dynamics in complex systems. A practical precision-engineering use case illustrates how experimental structural dynamics uncovered unexpected dynamics. (Image courtesy of NTS Development & Engineering).
