An experimental sensitivity method for analyzing
forced vibration data is developed and applied in
this book. It is shown that if a set of measured
mechanical system input-output functions is
available in vibrating systems, an appropriate
analytical linear parameterization of these
functions leads to algebraic relationships between
the measured data. These functions are solely a
function of experimental frequency response function
data and determine the linear forced response
sensitivity to physical perturbations in the system
mechanical properties.
