Modal analysis is defined as the study of the dynamic characteristics of a mechanical structure. The three parameters that comprehensively described the dynamic characteristics are: - Natural frequencies,
- Mode Shapes, and
- Damping.
Knowledge of these characteristics provides insights into the dynamic behavior of the structure and its mathematical model, allowing for: - The prediction of the system response, and
- The change in structural dynamic behavior with the change in geometrical properties, material properties, and boundary conditions of the structure.
