Abstract
GASPARETTO, Victor E.L.; MACHADO, Marcela R. and CARNEIRO, Sergio H.S.. Experimental modal analysis of an aircraft wing prototype for SAE Aerodesign Competition. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2020, vol.87, n.214, pp.100-110. Epub Oct 30, 2020. ISSN 0012-7353. https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v87n214.75361.
This work presents an experimental modal analysis of an aircraft wing prototype, designed by the Aerodesign team of the University of Brasilia, and performs a ground vibration testing of the prototype. The dynamic response data were acquired using the software LabVIEW, and the modal parameters were identified through the EasyMod toolbox. The modal parameters are characterised for the first seven vibration modes of the structure, with the firsts two being suspension modes of vibration. The effect of small changes in the experimental procedure on the identified modal parameters is discussed. It was observed that the use of an excitation signal as a logarithmic sine sweep and with a frequency range of excitation between 2 to 150 Hz resulted in less noise and more accurate measurement of the structure’s response. Results for different modal identification methods were verified using the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC), and good correlation was achieved.
