Note Technique ARMA - en
The impact technique is the simplest and easiest to implement. It involves measuring -with an
accelerometer- the response of the structure studied to a known excitation- impact hammer
equipped with a force sensor. The transfer function is calculated by dividing
However, for several reasons, it can be difficult to measure properly the excitation of the structure-
sometimes even impossible-. In these cases, the use of ARMA technique allows to bypass this
limitation and to trace the transfer function without the impact hammer signal.
The transfer function measured on the shaft in the vertical direction with the impact hammer is
compared to the one calculated with ARMA.
