Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) is used instead of Classical Modal Analysis (CMA) for accurate modal parameter identification under actual operating conditions and in situations where it is difficult or impossible to artificially excite the structure. From originally being developed for modal analysis of large civil engineering structures, OMA is today also widely used for mechanical structures such as vehicles, aircraft, ships, and machinery.
The webinar will:
Give an introduction to OMA
Give an overview of dedicated modal parameter identification techniques used in OMA
Show typical application examples of OMA for civil engineering and mechanical engineering structures
Provide guidelines for when to use OMA instead of CMA and vice versa
Introduce Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and explain how techniques from OMA can be used for subspace-based damage detection
Show application example of damage detection
