10 A Single Step Modal Parameter Estimation Algorithm: Computing. . . 101 The residue in Equation 10.15 is evaluated in the Z-domain and it must be scaled back to the complex-domain of the original FRFs so that it may be used to reconstruct FRFs. The scaling factor is derived in Equation 10.16 and is dependent on the Z-domain pole. Ar (jω) = Ar (s) sr ∗ t (10.16) It is also noteworthy that the residue is of unity rank. The rows of the residue matrix are the modal vectors scaled by appropriate entries from the participation vectors. Therefore, the row-wise (or column-wise) MAC is expected to be unity, indicating complete linear dependency of the residue matrix on each row/column. The structure of the residue matrix is shown in Equation 10.17. Ar No ×Ni =Qr[Lr]No ×2Nr [ψr] H 2Nr ×Ni (10.17) Here, Qr is the modal scaling factor, [Lr] is the matrix of modal participation vectors and [ψr] is the matrix of mode shape vectors. Hdenotes the Hermitian (complex-conjugate transpose) operation on a matrix. The comparison of the residue matrices obtained from the proposed methodology and the “traditional” process can hence be accomplished using MAC at each pole. Additionally, MPC and MPD metrics [16] that are applied to modal vectors can also be applied to the residue matrix after reshaping it into a vector. A summary of the current modal parameter estimation process, alongside the proposed method, is shown in Fig. 10.1.
