I am currently studying the behaviour of a cantilever beam and I need to obtain the damping factor of each mode of the beam. Does anybody know how to do this?
I have the time-response of my beam that I have obtained with an accelerometer but in this time response all modes are together.
I need the different damping factors in order to be able to obtain the rayleigh coefficients of my beam and simulate it in Abaqus.
I have read that I can obtain these dampings factor with the bode diagram, but I dont know how to obtain bode's diagram out of my time-response graph.
Or even how to isolate one mode and that the accelerometer only registers that mode.
Thank you very much!!
