TB 26-09 Measured Hammer-Tap Inputs
For more information, contact Joel W. Sills, Langley Research Center, [email protected]. Download the PDF version An instrumented hammer test does not require an idealized single half-sine waveform. When the complete force and response are measured accurately, crest ripples and separated contacts remain known inputs. Force shape changes excitation, but does not inherently invalidate the record.
