Normal Mode Analysis 1

[thesiswork]

Hello,

Is it always necessary to use normal mode analysis to figure out true sensor location?

You're going to have to be more specific. What are you trying to do?

Hello,

I am doing a project and recently we did some testing. Since we did not had any prior knowledge how the test was setup, normal mode analysis was not simulated. Is it the correct way to do testing or you can skip the mode analysis?

Still not making much sense. Are you worried that your sensors might be on the nodes of a mode shape and won't pick them up?

Cheers
