Section 12 : Hammer Test Setup Without a Force Transducer
Hammer testing for modal analysis without a force transducer can yield usable results if an accelerometer is placed on the hammer and used to trigger the measurement. Although frequency response functions acquired with this technique will be affected by the dynamic characteristics of the hammer assembly and also its
On the other hand, power spectra obtained by measuring the
Setting Up the Hammer Test Without a Force Transducer
Attach an accelerometer to the hammer using cement or wax, and connect this transducer to Channel 1. Attach the response accelerometer to the desired location on the structure, and connect it to Channel 2. Preset the analyzer and set up transducer parameters as described in the section “Measuring with Transducers.” Then proceed with the test in accordance with the proceeding section on “Modal Testing with a Hammer and Accelerometer.”
