It will be available from Wiley in August. In the next few months you will find more information about the book, and I will add some ABRAVIBE examples describing the new stuff from the - [Impact Testing Video](https://abravibe.com/impact-testing-video.html) - Did you know that the ABRAVIBE toolbox includes a unique GUI for processing data for impact testing ? This video describes the feature, and shows how you improve the FRF quality. To use it, you simply import your data and put it in the .imptime file format, which is documented in the ABRAVIBE user’s guide, - [Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) Example](https://abravibe.com/operational-modal-analysis-oma-example.html) - This is an example of using ABRAVIBE for OMA. It uses synthesized data of the Plexiglas plate, and the modified Ibrahim Time Domain Method (MITD) which is virtually identical to the more known (Covariance-based) Stochastic Subspace Identification, SSI. MITD predated SSI by many years, however.

You need to be logged in to download this example by clicking here. - [Forced Response Simulation Example](https://abravibe.com/forced-response-simulation-example.html) - The ABRAVIBE example ForcedResponse is illustrating the power of the digital filter forced response method for computing forced response developed by Kjell Ahlin and published in, among other references, "Noise and Vibration Analysis: Signal Analysis and Experimental Procedures," by Anders Brandt. The method uses a modal superposition formulation usinga ramp invariant transform to formulate the - [Welcome!](https://abravibe.com/welcome.html) - Hi! If you are an old visitor, you will notice that my website has changed. I have finally moved to WordPress. As a result, I am afraid that you will have to register again. Sorry for the inconvenience. Another news is that there are now two member levels: you can either be a free member, - [Modal Analysis Comparison Example](https://abravibe.com/modal-analysis-comparison-example.html) - This example compares the three currently available options to the frf2ptime command; 'prony', 'lsce', and 'ptd'. It can serve as a reference for how to use these three options. The example uses the same synthetic data for the Plexiglass plate that the Plexi Modal Example uses, but comes with the data to make it independent - [Modal Analysis Example Using Polyreference Time Domain](https://abravibe.com/modal-analysis-example.html) - The ABRAVIBE example PlexiModal is an example of using the ABRAVIBEtoolbox to do experimental modal analysis of a Plexiglass plate using measured data.The example uses data measured using impact testing, and thepolyreference time domain (PTD) method with two references, to be able toestimate the first two modes which are strongly coupled on this plate.The example - [Plexiplate Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) Example](https://abravibe.com/plexiplate-operating-deflection-shape-ods-example.html) - The ABRAVIBE example PlexiODS is an example using synthesized datagenerated from a modal model of a Plexiglas plate (incidentally, by theexample called ForcedResponse) to illustrate operating deflection shapes(ODS) analysis in ABRAVIBE. This is an advanced example includingmultiple-reference ODS to be able to separate two close modes! Theexample is divided into two parts, the first a - [Theory problem: forced response of SDOF system to half-sine excitation by Laplace transform](https://abravibe.com/theory-problem-forced-response-of-sdof-system-to-half-sine-excitation-by-laplace-transform.html) - This is an example of using the Laplace transform to solve the forced response of a mechanical system. In this example the system is excited by a half-sine pulse, which is common in, for example, vibration testing. The supplied zip file contains a pdf file with the problem definition, and a separate zip file with - [Demonstration of Convolution](https://abravibe.com/demonstration-of-convolution.html) - Convolution is an extremely important mathematical concept if one wants to understand linear systems, or, for that matter, frequency analysis. Convolution is also, however, often a concept that many students have some difficulty grasping. Therefore, I have made this short demonstration video that I hope will clarify the concept for your. Please share this if - [Notes On Using the ABRAVIBE Toolbox for Experimental Modal Analysis](https://abravibe.com/notes-on-using-the-abravibe-toolbox-for-experimental-modal-analysis.html) - This 25-page technical note presents rather comprehensive information about how modal analysis is implemented in ABRAVIBE. The first part of the note discusses some very important practical aspects of how to perform a good experimental modal analysis (EMA) test. Among the things discussed are choice of measurement points, choice of support, how to check measurement - [Finite Element Verification and Calibration Example](https://abravibe.com/finite-element-verification-and-calibration-example.html) - This is a complete example of finite element model verification and calibration (sometimes known as correlation).The example uses a finite element model built in the free CALFEM toolbox and experimental modal analysis results of the Plexiglas plate used throughout ABRAVIBE as an example structure. The idea of this example is to be simple and illustrative, - [Checklist for Experimental Modal Analysis](https://abravibe.com/checklist-for-experimental-modal-analysis.html) - This is a one-page checklist in table format which can be used to ensure some important points are not forgotten during a modal analysis test.
