A study on methods to compare measured and calculated modal data

Fokker Space and Systems and the National Aerospace Laboratory NLR performed a study to integrate more systematically the experimental and analytical analysis of the dynamic behaviour of structures. The study focused on the correlation of experimental and analytical data, matrix and parameter updating methods. In this paper an overview will be...

Evaluation of a method to extract performance data from dynamic maneuvers for a jet transport aircraft

A very accurate measurement system and a data reduction method have been developed to extract performance data from a single dynamic maneuver, in order to reduce the large amoimt of flight hours required for the determination of these data by means of measurements in steady flight. In order to evaluate the applicability of this method to a modem...
