A short research project run through the Griffith Student Academy of Excellence, using modal analysis to combine physical testing with numerical modelling of bolted-joint structures.
Bolted joints are everywhere in engineered structures, and they strongly influence how a structure vibrates. This project investigates their dynamic behaviour using both experimental modal testing and numerical modelling.
I conducted experiments in modal testing using specialised equipment to model the damping and mode shapes of different materials, including timber, PMMA and aluminium.
A research paper is planned.
