OSCILLATION ANALYSIS ON AN OBJECT PRODUCED BY MEANS OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Object analysis comprising measuring a frequency-dependent natural oscillation behavior of the object by dynamically-mechanically exciting the object in a defined frequency range (f) by means of generating a body oscillation by applying a test signal, and detecting a body oscillation generated in the object on account of the exciting. Moreover, the method involves simulating a frequency-dependent natural oscillation behavior for the object by generating a virtual digital representation of the object, and carrying out a finite element analysis on the basis of the virtual representation comprising dynamically exciting, in a simulated manner, the virtual representation into a virtual frequency range for generating a virtual body oscillation, calculating the virtual body oscillation generated in the object on account of the exciting in a simulated manner, and deriving an object state on the basis of a comparison of the measured natural oscillation behavior and the simulated frequency-dependent natural oscillation behavior.
