Session 8: Why are Normal Modes an essential foundation in Dynamic Response?

 

A lot of Dynamic Response Analyses are carried out with no attempt to investigate Normal Modes

Video : 60 minutes presentation and curated Q and A

 

Dynamic Analyses may dive straight into:

• Transient Dynamic Analysis

• Frequency Response Analysis

• Shock Response Analysis

• Random response Analysis

In my view – a Normal Modes survey is essential in each case

Over 14 questions at the end showed the level of interest!
