Modal analysis determines natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping characteristics of a mechanical system or structure. Engineers study modal parameters to learn how a structure will respond to various types of dynamic loading, including vibrations and shocks. Manufacturers must understand these parameters to design structures that can withstand dynamic loads without failure. Modal analysis is commonly applied in numerous industries, including aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics. Manufacturers rely on modal analysis when ensuring the reliability and safety of their products. This analysis is also important in predictive maintenance and structural health monitoring, helping to identify potential issues before they lead to catastrophic failures.
