Abstract This paper describes the application of pseudo-random test signals and cross-correlation analysis to the determination of the dynamic-response characteristics of plate systems. The statistical nature of the technique allows such information to be obtained even in the presence of considerable background noise. The method is demonstrated by a pilot study performed on a rectangular isotropic plate and by additional tests on plates with longitudinal rib stiffeners. In all cases the results compare favorably with those given by an alternative (but more tedious) experimental procedure and, to a lesser extent, with theoretical solutions.
