Operating Deflection Shapes

Operating Deflection Shapes (ODS) is a method used in vibration analysis to visualize the dynamic behavior of a structure or machine under actual operating conditions. It represents the deformation pattern of the structure at specific frequencies while it is in operation.

  1. Animation: Software tools are used to create animations that depict the ODS, showing how the structure deforms over time at frequencies.
  2. 3D Models: These visualizations often use 3D models of the structure to make the deflection shapes more intuitive.
