JFET_V4_N4_RP7 Tom Page Journal on Future Engineering and Technology 2230 – 7184 4 4 41 47 Modal analysis, Dynamic analysis, Design, Fixture The work reported here concerns the design and evaluation of a fixture used in vibrational analysis of a fluid filled manifold tract component used for automotive applications. The manifold was subject to physical vibration in order to simulate its location and environment in an automobile. The fixture used was a bracket assembly used for the location and securing of the manifold tract component to a dynamic shaker-rig. May - July 2009 Copyright © 2009 i-manager publications.
