co-ordinate modal assurance criterion CoMAC

Definition

measure of the correlation of the a given DOF of two different sets of mode shapes over a number of comparable-paired mode shapes

Notes

  • NOTE 1 The coordinate modal assurance criterion for DOF j is defined as: where is the mode shape coefficient for DOF j for mode r of set A is the mode shape coefficient for DOF j for mode r of set X r is the index of the correlated mode pairs. For example, mode shapes X and A are test and analysis mode shapes, respectively.
  • NOTE 2 CoMAC = 1 indicates perfect correlation.
  • NOTE 3 The results can be considered to be meaningful only when the CoMAC is applied to matched modes, i.e. for correlated mode pairs.
