MODAL IMPACT TESTING
S1 Collector app v24.1 now allows users to perform Modal Impact Testing. Modal Impact measurements are
typically taken to find the natural frequencies and vibration characteristics of a machine or structure. This isan advanced analysis technique which requires 3rd-party Modal analysis software (not supplied by BentlyNevada).
This process involves:
1.

Planning and noting the locations and directions for the impact test.

2.

Setting up the parameters, hammer, and sensors to measure the frequency user is interested in.

3.

Performing trial impacts with the hammer on the machine that is under investigation — This trial phaseprovides an opportunity to experiment with different hammer tips, locations, and settings, as well as
force of impact to ensure you are prepared to take high quality recordings before proceeding withdata collection.
