A method is developed to predict the dynamic behavior of a structure from experimental FRF data of the same system subjected to different constraints. In particular it is required that the new structure undergoes more restrained conditions, but any type of ideal constraint, involving either translational or rotational degrees of freedom, can be accounted for. Among several interesting applications, the method can be used to overcome typical experimental drawbacks on rigid tested structures and to estimate untestable FRF terms of constrained systems. Numerical and experimental results are provided to show the consistency of the method and the possible range of applications.

Abstract
A method is developed to predict the dynamic behavior of a structure from experimental FRF data of the same system subjected to different constraints. In particular it is required that the new structure undergoes more restrained conditions, but any type of ideal constraint, involving either translational or rotational degrees of freedom, can be accounted for. Among several interesting applications, the method can be used to overcome typical experimental drawbacks on rigid tested structures and to estimate untestable FRF terms of constrained systems. Numerical and experimental results are provided to show the consistency of the method and the possible range of applications.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
