Abstract
Systems and methods for automated MIMO force-response characterization of a structure-under-test. The structure-under-test is coupled to a plurality of exciter devices and a plurality of response sensors. An excitation signal is automatically and iteratively applied to each exciter device while sensor data is collected from each response sensor to collect response data for a plurality of different exciter-sensor combinations (i.e., response data collected by a single response sensor while the excitation signal is applied to a single exciter device). A signal quality test is applied to the collected sensor data and, in response to determining that the collected response data for a particular exciter-sensor combination is of insufficient quality, the data collection for that exciter-sensor combination is automatically repeated. The excitation signal can be automatically adjusted before repeating the data collection to improve the quality of the collected data for the exciter-sensor combination.
