Cumulative experimental errors in pseudodynamic tests

In pseudodynamic tests, experimental feedback errors are accumulated in the step-by-step integration procedure. In this paper, the growth of cumulative experimental errors is examined. Approximate cumulative error bounds are derived for linear single- and multi-degree-of-freedom systems, based on realistic models of random and systematic feedback errors. These studies show that the rate of cumulative error growth with respect to the integration time step increases rapidly with the natural frequency of the specimen and the integration time interval used. Hence, the higher modes of a multi-degree-of-freedom system are more sensitive to experimental errors than the lower ones. Furthermore, it is shown that some systematic errors are extremely undesirable. Rational criteria for assessing the reliability of pseudodynamic test results are presented.
