PREFACE
The dynamic techniques as a tool for structural identification and diagnostics have a consolidated tradition. They owe their appeal to the ability to convey a great mass of information with relatively modest experimental burden and, overall, to the fact that this can be done without suspending machines or structures from service. Thus, a direct assessment of their integrity is possible. Of course, these techniques have become a viable tool of structural analysis because of the remarkable progress in the acquisition and treatment of experimental data that has characterized the final decades of the last century. By all these reasons the dynamic techniques have long since attracted the interest of engineers in various areas, ranging from the aeronautical to civil applications, and with various purposes, including e.g. model validation, failure detection, noise analysis, vibration control, etc.. Today there are many journals and conferences dedicated to the subject. Some, such as the The International Seminar of Modal Analysis organized by the Katholieke Universiteit of Leuven, have become institutional occasions where to periodically compare work and experience or to share expertise gained in doing things. In Zooking at the research activity which has been developed along the years, one is surprised by the huge amou
