  • MMO-FRF and MRIT test methods
  • Cyclic averaging
  • Burst pseudo-random excitation
  • PTD
  • PFD
  • PolyMax
  • AF-Poly
  • Autonomous Modal Parameter Estimation

Each seminar includes complete notes and reference material, along with lunch and snacks at a cost of $1,300. Complete information concerning lecture topics for each seminar along with registration information can be found at the seminar link.
