What is modal analysis?
Modal analysis is the dynamic characteristic of object structure under vibration excitation. Structural engineers can extract modal parameters (dynamic characteristics) of a structure through modal analysis. Modal parameters can help structural engineers understand the response of a structure to environmental conditions for design validation.
The modal analysis of the optical disc
With the increase of the data transmission rate of the optical disc drive, the speed of the spindle motor also increases. Today, it has reached about 12,000 revolutions per minute, and if the disc has a little eccentric mass, the vibration caused by the unbalance will be intensified, causing great difficulties for the focus and circulation of the optical head. The modal analysis of the optical disc is carried out to obtain its natural frequency and modal changes, which can be used as a theoretical basis for evaluating the characteristics of the optical disc and to determine whether the strength of the optical disc meets the design requirements.
Optical disc modal test analysis challenge
1) The quality of the disc is small, and the contact sensor has a large impact on the test of the disc;
2) The mode mode needs to collect multi-point data from the disc, and the traditional method needs to be measured several times, which is low efficiency;
3) Optical disc modal analysis is in urgent need of an efficient measurement method without mass addition.

Test conclusion
The natural frequency and modal modes of the optical disc are obtained by scanning laser vibrometer, which provides a favorable theoretical basis for evaluating the characteristics of the optical disc and can be used to interpret the strength of the optical disc. Under the high-speed operation of the disc, the natural frequency is avoided, and the structure is optimized under a specific frequency.
The "Modal artifact" can perform modal testing quickly and efficiently, which has a great advantage over traditional chip sensors. "Modal artifact" not only can be used for optical disk modal testing, but also can be widely used in various structural analysis, ultrasonic piezoelectric testing, and research of new materials.
