Abstract
A method according to the present invention calculates a performance function for a structural system ( ) that can be used to determine system dynamics at points of interest on the structural system ( ). A test input force is applied to an input subsystem ( ) and an output subsystem ( ) while the motion in response to the test input force is measured to determine a drive point transfer function. A test relative force is applied to the input subsystem ( ) and output subsystem ( ) at interface points in all degrees of freedom while the motion in response to the test relative force is measured in all degrees of freedom to determine the interface transfer functions. A performance function for the structural system ( ) is mathematically calculated based upon the measured drive point transfer functions and interface transfer functions.
