Frequency Response Function and FFT for Modal Analysis

64 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am experimentally testing a material to retrieve its natural frequencies through modal analysis. The type of testing is based around impulse response. My sampling frequency was 10kHz. My acccelerometer's sensisitivty was 100mV/g and my impact hammer's sensitivity was 2.25mV/N. My aim is to obtain an accurate FRF graph. My entire code:
%reading excel file
dataset = xlsread('BrassFRF.xlsx','Sheet1','A1:C50000');
%%Creating and filling data variables
a=dataset(:,2);
n=dataset(:,3);
%%Converting acceleraltion voltages into acceleration (mm/sec^2)
a=a.*((1/0.1)*9.81);
%%Converting force voltages into Newton (N)
n=n.*(1/0.00225);
%%Creating FFT using acceleration
L=length(a);
NFFT=2.^nextpow2(L);
V=fft(a,NFFT)/L;
Fs=10000;
freq=Fs/2*linspace(0,1,NFFT/2+1);
subplot(3,1,1)
plot(freq,2*abs(V(1:NFFT/2+1)))
xlabel('Frequency (Hz)');
title('Velocity FFT ')
%%Creating FFT for using force
F=fft(n,NFFT)/L;
subplot(3,1,2)
plot(freq,2*abs(F(1:NFFT/2+1)))
xlabel('Frequency (Hz)');
title('Impulse FFT ')
%%FRF
FRF=V./F;
subplot(3,1,3)
plot(abs(FRF))
xlabel('Frequency (Hz)');
title('FRF')
Please tell me if you find any errors that can be the cause of an incorrect FRF. My suspect is the impulse FFT.

The last section is wrong, it should be:
FRF=V./F;
subplot(3,1,3)
plot(freq, abs(FRF(1:NFFT/2+1)))
xlabel('Frequency (Hz)');
title('FRF')

did you obtain frf of acceleration/force? why did you write V/F? why did you use velocity?
L=length(a); NFFT=2.^nextpow2(L); V=fft(a,NFFT)/L; Fs=10000; freq=Fs/2*linspace(0,1,NFFT/2+1); subplot(3,1,1) plot(freq,2*abs(V(1:NFFT/2+1))) xlabel('Frequency (Hz)'); title('Velocity FFT ') set(gca, 'YScale','log')

how did you know your sampling frequency was 10khz? I have a accelerometer data and, trying to obtain fft like you. i need a Fs but i dont know how can i get this info.

You can actually check your resonance frequency or natural frequency. The sampling frequency must be twice of your natural frequency (Nyquiste Theorem)

Hello,
i'm working in the same way, trying to obtain the natural frequency and damping of some materiales using the information from a hammer and a accelerometer. Can you please help me with this?, how you solve your problem with the FRF?.
thanks
