3D Experimental Impulse-Based Substructuring AM Benchmark Structure Measurement Data

Raw time series of impact measurements on the AM benchmark structure, with 38 impact locations and 10 repetitions each. 'AB-Structure' contains measurements of the assembled system; 'A-Structure' and 'B-Structure' contain the individual substructures' measurements. Each acquisition channel is saved to an individual .mat file, starting with a structure identifier, e.g., AB_*.mat for measurements on the AB-structure. The excitation forces are stored in *_F.mat, and the acceleration responses in *_S##.mat, where ## denotes the channel number and local direction, e.g., *_S1X.mat. In the files, 'Y_X' contains the time vector, and 'Y' the values for all impact locations in numerical order. 'VPT' contains the test setup description 'point_coordinates.xlsx' required for pyFBS as well as a Jupyter Notebook 'VPT_transformation_matrices.ipynb' that calculates the VPT transformation matrices, saved in 'AM_structure_VPT.mat', and using the *.stl files a visualization is provided.
