the structural modes of the system are widely spaced. In this case, a closed form solution of modal damage can be obtained. The method is based on decomposing the structure into its normal modes, evaluating the damage on a mode by mode basis and summing up over all modes to determine the total
damage. To demonstrate the practicality of the analysis, the method is applied to vibration measurements taken on a plant. The method is easy to apply, but requires more validation, which can be achieved by comparing the results with a real case scenario where high level of fatigue damage
is observed. The method can also be validated by comparing the results on a structure of limited number of vibration modes, e.g. two where a closed form solution of response is available.",
