On the Force Drop Off Phenomenon in Shaker Testing in Experimental Modal Analysis

The Electrodynamic Vibration Exciter (shakers) has been one of the most employed excitation sources in modal tests. The shaker is an electromechanical device that provides a mechanical motion due to the input signal sent to its coil. Despite being widely used, it is well known that the shaker intera...
