Subject of structural dynamics is as old as engineering itself; the journey started from earlier invention of seismometer to measure earthquake intensity to today’s electrodynamics shaker and yet there is much more to show up in coming years.
Major key players include aerospace, automobile and mechanical engineering disciplines. Today’s fast paced and robust computing machines have given rise to a large number of vibration analysis tools. However, a sound correlation of analytical results with experimental data remains a key factor to accurately predict what’s really going on with a system under dynamic excitation.
