International Space Station operational modal analysis via iterative pole relocation
Marco Civera, Gabriele Dessena, Marina Cózar Alcázar +2
In recent years, increasing aerospace safety requirements have intensified the demand for reliable structural damage detection. This work presents an Operational Modal Analysis app…
Enhanced input stacking for non-square MIMO modal identification of aeronautical structures via Fast and Relaxed Vector Fitting
Beatrice E. Bauret MartÃnez, Gabriele Dessena, Marco Civera +1
Fast and Relaxed Vector Fitting (FRVF) is a frequency-domain system identification approach that has been widely adopted in electrical system modelling, while its application to me…
Operational Modal Analysis of Aeronautical Structures via Tangential Interpolation
Gabriele Dessena, Marco Civera, Oscar E. Bonilla-Manrique
Over the last decades, progress in modal analysis has enabled increasingly routine use of modal parameters for applications such as structural health monitoring and finite element…
A Paradigm Shift to Assembly-like Finite Element Model Updating
Gabriele Dessena, Alessandro Pontillo, Dmitry I. Ignatyev +2
In general, there is a mismatch between a finite element model {(FEM)} of a structure and its real behaviour. In aeronautics, this mismatch must be small because {FEM}s are a funda…
Modal Parameter Extraction via Propeller-Driven Vibration Testing
Gabriele Dessena, Alessandro Pontillo
Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) supports aircraft certification but often requires lengthy and costly campaigns. Propeller-driven Vibration Testing (PVT) is assessed here as an outp…
Affordable Data Collection System for UAVs Taxi Vibration Testing
Chaoyi Lin Yang, Gabriele Dessena, Oscar E. Bonilla-Manrique
Structural vibration testing plays a key role in aerospace engineering for evaluating dynamic behaviour, ensuring reliability and verifying structural integrity. These tests rely o…
