<p>This master thesis has been carried out on behalf of Volvo Construction Equipment. A front frame of an</p><p>articulated hauler should be analysed according to the Finite Element Method and vibration tests should be</p><p>made. The results from the experimental tests should be correlated with the analytical test results here using</p><p>MAC-values. These values will show if the FE-model represents the physical structure correctly.</p><p>Visualisations are made on both the experimental and analytical results to get a better understanding about the</p><p>eigenmodes of the frame.</p><p>The final results showed that the FE-model was not a match to the physical structure which the experimental</p><p>tests were made on. It should be noted that the final result only states the present situation. The CAD-model had</p><p>not been completed when this thesis was performed and therefore some deviation occurred in the results. Some</p><p>actions are needed in order to reach a better result and they are stated in this report. When they are made, the</p><p>results can be improved by following the work that has been done in this master thesis.</p>
