Hi,

To my understanding, it should be possible to reconstruct a frequency response function (FRF) from a set of modal parameters, that is, (mass normalized) mode shapes, eigenfrequencies, and damping ratios. However, when I do that with the output of the modalfit function, I am way off my original data and the estimated FRFs by modalfit:

function [frf] = modal_paras_2_frf(f, fn, dr, ms, idxIn, idxOut)

hz2Rad = 2*pi;

omegan = hz2Rad*fn;

omega = hz2Rad*f;

frf = zeros(size(omega));

for m = 1:length(omegans)

frf = frf + ((ms(idxIn,m)*ms(idxOut,m)) ./(-omega.^2 + omegan(m).^2 + 2*1i*omega*omegan(m)*dr(m)));

end

Am I missing something here?

Best

Johannes

In your code, you have a loop variable "m" that iterates over the modal indices, but you are using "omegans" instead of "omegan" inside the loop. This is causing the error because omegans is not defined in your code. You should replace "omegans" with "omegan" to correctly calculate the FRFs for each mode.

Hi Johannes,

I'm not sure whether you have overcome your problem. Anyway, since I was facing the same problem, here is my explanation:

The mode shapes coming from modalfit are normalized to modal constant Q=1, assuming non-classical damping (in the documentation, this is stated somewhat ambigious ("unity modal")). You have to provide the 'DriveIndex' argument, i.e. the index of the direct-FRF in your measurement data for this to hold.

Then, you can reconstruct the frf's in the form like

function [frf] = modal_paras_2_frf_edit(f, fn, dr, ms, idxIn, idxOut)
 
hz2Rad = 2*pi;
omegan = hz2Rad*fn;
omega = hz2Rad*f;
lambda = -dr.*omegan + 1i*omegan.*sqrt(1-dr.^2);  % complex poles
 
frf = zeros(size(omega));
 
for m = 1:length(omegans)
    frf  = frf + ((ms(idxIn,m)*ms(idxOut,m)) ./(1i*omega -lambda(m)) + (conj(ms(idxIn,m)*conj(ms(idxOut,m))) ./(1i*omega -conj(lambda(m)));
    
    % the original version assumed proportional damping and mass-normalized mode shapes, which is not what modalfit returns
    % frf  = frf + ((ms(idxIn,m)*ms(idxOut,m)) ./(-omega.^2 + omegan(m).^2 + 2*1i*omega*omegan(m)*dr(m))); 
    
    % you would obtain the correct result with the original version setting the modal mass accordingly, as in:
    % m_mod = 1/(1i*2*omegan(m));
    % frf  = frf + ((ms(idxIn,m)*ms(idxOut,m)) ./(m_mod*(-omega.^2 + omegan(m).^2 + 2*1i*omega*omegan(m)*dr(m))));
end
 
 
end

The theory behind this is explained in the very good book "Noise and Vibration Analysis" by Anders Brandt, section 6.4.2.

Best,

The connection between modal constant Q_k and modal mass m_k is Q_k=1/(i*2*m_k*omega_k), omega_k begin the natural frequency of the considered mode k (strictly speaking, this is only valid for proportionally damped systems). This mean, you have to divide the mode shape vectors obtained from modalfit by 2i*omega_k to rescale them such that m_k=1. Note that this in general will still give you complex mode shapes. If you want to use real mode shapes, you might want to rotate the mode shapes onto the real axis and take the real part of it
