Book excerpt: Intended for practicing engineers in industry and researchers in engineering, this one volume treatise presents a unified, comparative exposition of modal and spectrum analysis of dynamic systems and structures. It shows how the utilization of Data Dependent Systems (DDSs) brings together these two methods of analysis and simplifies many of the techniques used. In addition, it provides more accurate, realistic and more easily interpreted results and discusses the pitfalls and limitations of each method. Both time and frequency domain methods are covered, demonstrating the relative advantages and disadvantages of each.
