RESEARCH WORK – PATRICK LOGAN
Calibration of Non-Contact Force Excitation
Use of non-contact excitation via ultrasonic transducer permits excitation of higher frequencies not
typically reached by traditional excitation methods. While quantification of the input force is necessary
for characterization of the dynamic behavior of a structure, non-contact excitation is problematic, as it
cannot be measured via traditional force transducers. However, use of frequency response functions
obtained with traditional excitation methods may be compared with frequency response functions
obtained from non-contact excitation to determine an appropriate calibration by which force and driving
voltage may be related. Additionally, force estimation techniques relying on measured responses and
calibrated frequency response functions may be used to estimate the associated input force power spectra
