Extract

A new proof is given of a method whereby records of the transient vibrations of linear systems can be analysed to give the damping factor and frequency of each mode of vibration associated with the motion. The method is applicable to acceleration, velocity or displacement records, and as the amplitude of each mode can be found, by using a suitable number of pickups, the normal modes of continuous systems may also be determined. Obvious applications lie in the analysis of flight flutter test data, and of the transient responses of servomechanisms.
