I want to costruct a FRF [H]column matrix of size 3x1 from impact test i.e [H11 H21 H31]^T.On a cantilever,I have taken 4 points 1,2,3&4.First I mounted an accelerometer on 1& impacted at 4 with an impact hammer.I noted A1(t)&F1(t).Next I mounted Accelerometer at 2 & again imacted at 4 only.Noted A2(t)& F2(t).Lastly with acclorometer at 3,impacted again at 4.Noted A3(t)&F3(t).Now can we take H11=A1/F1;H21 =A2/F2 and H31=A3/F3 in frequency domain after taking FFT of each matrix?Is it that we have to mount 3 accelrometers simulteneously at 1,2 and 3, and impacting once only at 4? My problem is after finding this[H] matrix,I am going to mount accelerometer at some other point,say 5 and impact at 4.Using the response at 5,A5,I want to reconstruct foece F5 at point 4,assuming I dont know this.Later I will compare with recorded history. I want to find this using: F5(jw) = [H(jw)]^-1*A5(jw)at every frequency.Pl let me know is this possible? SLG

Please provide the following information clearly and concisely:
1. What are you trying to do?
2. What have you tried so far?
3. What part of what you have tried is not working?
4. What specifically is your question?
I do not think you are likely to get much help unless you provide these four pieces of information as clearly and simply as you can.
Thanks!

Reformatting your question to be more readable would help.
