Modification of Driver Cabin Structure | Experimental Modal Testing + Modal Modification

The author has extensive theoretical and applied background in solving real-life Noise & Vibration problems at various layers of industry. Working with a team of professionals, the company to which Author's works for, NV Dynamics is both horizontally and vertically involved at various design and post validation processes of many industry. This publication is a culmination of various aspects of real testing of a excavator cabin for its operational performance,failure modes and further on to look into the feasible changes to the cabin structure to bring effective changes for making the cabin more dynamically stable and improve its field worthiness. The author has put his good efforts to bring his vast experience from instrumentation, testing, analysis, FE based estimation and its correlation with test results into its good technical understanding in the form of this publication. Incidentally, this publication happens to be the thesis submitted for the MS degree program which secured the distinction merit for its technical quality and content
