In this study; first of all,
finite element undamped modal analysis was performed on one of the automotive
rear lamp lenses and were obtained natural frequencies and mode shapes. Then,
Frequency Response Functions (FRF) of an automotive rear lamp lens, made of
polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) material, were obtained by using Impact Hammer
Test Methods. At the same time; dynamic characteristics of the structure,
natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes were obtained. Damping
ratios were calculated from the FRF’s by using the Half Power Method. Finite
Element Analysis (FEA) results and test results were compared and the best test
method was determined.
