The Time domain decomposition (TDD) [1] is an output-only method to extract mode shapes of a structure. Here, the modal damping ratios and modal displacements are in addition extracted using the functions presented in [6]. The TDD is similar to a more popular technique called Frequency-domain method (FDD) that was introduced by [2,3]. A good example of the FDD already exists on the Matlab File Exchange [4]. In a previous version, the present submission contained a function for the FDD. This function has been modified and moved to a new submission [5].
The submission contains:
- The function TDD.m: function to apply the TDD method.
- An example file Example1.m
- Acceleration data beamData.m (4 Mb)
