9、force and a velocitytransducer is used to measure the resulting motion of the testobject(see top plots in Fig.2).In plate-like structures,theimpact results predominantly in flexural vibration of the testedelement,although other modes can be excited.Waveformsfrom the load cell and velocity transducer
10、 are converted to thefrequency domain and used to calculate the mobility spectrum,which is analyzed to obtain parameters representing the el-ements response to the impact.These parameters are used toidentify anomalous regions within the tested element.3.2.2 mobility,nratio of the velocity amplitude
