Practice:
Modal testing is a structural testing practice that provides low levels of mechanical excitation to a test structure and measures its response to that excitation. This response is then analyzed to experimentally determine the dynamic structural characteristics of the test subject. Modal testing may be performed on all suitable space structures including those associated with the Orbiter and the Space Station.
