How can I co-relate the response due to the rectangular rod sliding on plate (movement is made by hand) experiment with the mathematical model. The plate is simply supported. The force of excitation is also moving.
Several people (Adnan Akay, David Ewins, and their colleagues) studied this problem, but they did not consider the influence of moving load.
The following paper is about a single degree-of-freedom frictional slider moving around a clamped-free circular plate:
