TB 26-09 Measured Hammer-Tap Inputs
The Quick Take
For more information, contact Joel W. Sills, Langley Research Center, joel.w.sills@nasa.gov.

When the complete force and response are measured accurately, crest ripples and separated contacts remain known inputs. Force shape changes excitation, but does not inherently invalidate the record
