本论文的目的是开发测试和分析程序，以修订ASHRAE标准87.1，适用于小型（<36 in.直径）螺旋桨风机。还需要使用测试和分析程序将ASHRAE标准87.1-1992测试结果（风扇轮毂机动性为零）转换为有限（非零）轮毂机动性的相应结果。在本项目中，研究了三个弧形叶片风扇的振动模式。对风机叶片和风机电机单元进行了实验和有限元分析（FEA）。该项目比较了从风扇组件的有限元分析和实验模态分析中获得的结果。 有限元分析和实验模态分析之间有很好的相关性。

The objective of this thesis is to develop test and analysis procedures to revise ASHRAE Standard 87.1 Standard for small (<36 in. diameter) propeller fans. Test and analysis procedures also need to be used to convert ASHRAE Standard 87.1 - 1992 test results where the fan hub mobility is zero to corresponding results that will exist with a finite (nonzero) hub mobility.In this project, the vibration modes of a fan with three cambered blades were investigated. Experimental and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed on the fan blade and the fan-motor unit. The project compared the results obtained from the FEA and experimental modal analysis of the fan assembly. A very good correlation between FEA and the experimental modal analysis was found.
