Multiple-boundary-condition testing method technique to improve analysis of vibrations in large structures. Conceived for vibrational testing, in terrestrial environment, of large, complicated three-dimensional structures intended for use in outer space. Objective of such testing, to identify parameters of mathematical models used to predict vibrations of such structures in absence of gravitation and air. Structure supported and/or restrained at several positions; excited at desired vibrational frequencies, and vibrations measured to determine characteristics of vibrational modes. Potential terrestrial uses in testing and evaluation of dynamics of towers and offshore structures and safety of large buildings in Earthquakes.
