Among the numerous identification methods available for operational modal analysis, the CPR (Complex Plane Representation) method proves efficient and effective in the case of sweep tests where the excitation is not measured. The CPR method has been described in a number of papers by the authors and allows for high precise identification of the modal parameters. In spite of this precision there exist cases where the approximations involved by practical applications need further clarification. The paper is devoted to estimate error bounds due to lack of congruence between the theoretical assumptions and the actual system characteristics or field conditions. The dependence of the amplitude and phase values on the modal density is crucial in this respect. Theoretical and numerical solution are used to validate the CPR results.

Abstract
Among the numerous identification methods available for operational modal analysis, the CPR (Complex Plane Representation) method proves efficient and effective in the case of sweep tests where the excitation is not measured. The CPR method has been described in a number of papers by the authors and allows for high precise identification of the modal parameters. In spite of this precision there exist cases where the approximations involved by practical applications need further clarification. The paper is devoted to estimate error bounds due to lack of congruence between the theoretical assumptions and the actual system characteristics or field conditions. The dependence of the amplitude and phase values on the modal density is crucial in this respect. Theoretical and numerical solution are used to validate the CPR results.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
