TY - JOUR AU - Müller, Pieter AU - Jansen, Ashraf TI - Modelling Structural Vibration Damping with Modal Analysis JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 1985 VL - 9 IS - 1 SP - 553 EP - 574 AB - Much of the difficulty in designing rural electrification can be attributed to the complex nature of structural vibration damping. The theoretical predictions of modal analysis are compared with measurements taken in rural electrification. Efficiency improvements of the order of 9% are demonstrated for representative cases. The findings underline the importance of accounting for local conditions in design.
