Experimental Modal Analysis and Dynamic Response Prediction of PC Boards With Surface Mount Electronic Components

Abstract
Use of modal testing and structural dynamic modification techniques for prediction of the modal parameters of a PC board with a surface-mount component is described. Experimentally determined natural frequencies and mode shapes of a PC board with and without an added component are presented. Several simple dynamic models of the component are evaluated. Results obtained indicate that the component can sometimes be modeled as a point mass.
