Smooth mode decomposition: Theory and its applications in full-field output-only modal analysis
NLD news · July 13, 2023 Our paper “Smooth mode decomposition: Theory and its applications in full-field output-only modal analysis” was published in Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing. Highlights Smooth mode decomposition (SMD) identifies the normal modes from system outputs. The spatial differential operator enables SMD to identify smooth modal structures SMD-identified modes approximate normal […]
