Figure 4.18: MAC matrix using the simple method<br />

It can be immediately noted that these results are not good because only two modes<br />

of the card are found by the model.<br />

This great dierence between the results from the model and the ones obtained by<br />

experimental test, can be explained by several facts:<br />

• Firstly, the boundary conditions are not fully "free-free" in the experimental set-up<br />

(this type of boundary conditions is impossible to reproduce in reality owing to the<br />

gravity). This could bring some unknowns about these boundary conditions which<br />

are not taken into account in the FE model. This fact could lead to dierent dynamic<br />

responses of the PCB.<br />

• Then, the choice of hammer and/or tip could be not appropriate to our case. And, if<br />

the structure is not well excited, its dynamic response can not be measured accurately.<br />

• Finally, owing to the restricted dimensions of the studied structure, the exact location<br />

of measurement points is uncertain. Any error in this location could lead to a<br />

comparison between two points (the measurement point and its "equivalent" from<br />

the FE model) that have fundamentally dierent displacements.<br />

But, for our study, the results obtained are sucient and so, an other test will not be<br />

performed.<br />
