Impact Excitation
Objectives of this lecture:
Overview impact excitation techniques
Review hammer/tip characteristics
Review special DSP considerations
11
Impact Excitation
An impulsive excitation which is very short in the time window
usually lasting less than 5% of the sample interval.
ADVANTAGES
- easy setup
- fast measurement time
- minimum of equipment
- low cost
CONSIDERATIONS
- poor rms to peak levels
- poor for nonlinear structures
- force/response windows needed
- pretrigger delay needed
- double impacts may occur
- high potential for signal overload and underload of ADC

SISO vs MIMO
Excitation technique is one necessary step to acquire better
measurements (random/hann vs burst random).
But using MIMO instead of SISO is another important
consideration.
And mass loading effects are also important

Why bother with MIMO testing? Why not run a SISO instead?
Single shaker testing is adequate providing all the modes of the
structure can be sufficiently excited and measured.
In component testing this can often times be sufficient.
However, when structures have several components, then the ability
to provide sufficient excitation to acquire good measurements
across the whole structure may be difficult.
Tests can be conducted with a single shaker that is moved to
different reference locations but generally this does not provide
consistently related measurements.
When this is the case (as it often is), then MIMO is needed.
