The document discusses the transfer function module for modal analysis of machines. The transfer function is determined using an instrumented impact hammer to introduce input signals and measure the resulting vibration output signals. The module can identify structural resonances and indicate relative movement of machine components using multi-channel functions. It provides conventional evaluation methods and integrated coherence analysis in bode diagrams, supporting up to 3 input channels for tri-axial measurements.

For modal analysis of machines with shafts that are not rotating as well as for the analysis of immovable objects such as, for example, foundations or frameworks, the impact analysis method is employed. The transfer function is determined with an impact hammer having a built-in load sensor, and is given by the ratio between the input signal (load introduced by the hammer hits) and the output signal (measured vibration).
HIGHLIGHTS Transfer Function Module
Identifying structural resonances – By using an instrumented impact hammer for
excitation Indication for relative movement of machine components – Can be determined using Multi-Channel-Function Conventional evaluation methods – Are available and cover load, acceleration and displacement leading to various FRF (Frequency Response Function) types such as apparent mass, compliance, stiffness and others Integrated coherence analysis – Is provided by color coding directly in the bode diagram Screenshot of 3-channel Bode magnitude Up to 3 input channels – For tri-axial measurements
