Abstract: The purpose of this work was apply the Modal Analysis as a method to measure materials physical characteristics. The method we used was a experimental vibro-photo-acoustic set-up assembled in order to measure rheological and thermal characteristics of biomaterials, in particular foods and vegetables as the sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) and the bamboo (Bambusa spp). The basi…
In this project we intent to use the modal analysis to determine the physical characteristics of some non-homogeneous materials.Measures of normal modes of a mechanical structure containing a sample of the material under test will be compared with the normal modes calculated by numerical methods. The results of this comparison used in an iterative procedure allow to adjusting the physical…
