Full Description

This document provides guidance to select a vibration generator that will be used to evaluate frequencyresponses of a test structure or to study how vibration grows/decreases along the structure. Thesestructural dynamics tests can be carried out under field or laboratory conditions (see the ISO 7626 orISO 10846^[4][5][6][7] series).

This document describes the selection procedure in terms of the force developed by a single vibrationgenerator. Meanwhile, to move massive structures such as dams or bridges, an assembly of vibrationgenerators is usually applied. Properly phased generators produce in total the same force as calculatedfor a single vibration generator (see 6.2.6).

Guidance also can be applied for the selection of equipment to be used for modal testing to determinenatural frequencies, modal shapes and damping in a structure; however, for such a test, more factorsthan covered by this document usually need to be considered.

This document deals only with translational excitation. For equipment applied to generate angularvibration, see Reference [8].
