In the study of modal analysis is it very important to understand the vibrational behavior of parts in order to reduce their contribution to radiated noise. Predicting vibration using today's simulation methods is still restricted by limited knowledge of boundary conditions and material parameters. Using an experimental modal analysis, modal parameters such as mode shapes, natural frequencies, modal damping can be measured. This measured data can be used as input data for numerical simulation. With correlation analysis, the results from finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental modal analysis (EMA) can be compared. ER
