Using Component-Based TPA to Translate Vibration Environments Between Versions of the Round-Robin Structure with FRFs Derived from Analytical Models

Carter, Steven; Owens, Brian C.

This chapter will show the results of a study where component-based transfer path analysis was used to translate vibration environments between versions of the round-robin structure. This was done to evaluate a hybrid approach where the responses were measured experimentally, but the frequency response functions were derived analytically. This work will describe the test setup, force estimation process, response prediction (on the new system), and show comparisons between the predicted and measured responses. Observations will also be made on the applicability of this hybrid approach in more complex systems.
