Abstract
AVALON is the right onboard automated tool to enhance the in-flight real-time characterization of a flexible structure, inferring relevant structural parameters such as normal modes frequencies and structural damping. Last year, the AVALON project was one of the four finalists in the Awards of engineering of ADS, ensuring the continuity of its development. This paper presents the latest advancements in AVALON, focusing on new features and significant improvements that enhance its functionality and performance. The technical enhancements implemented since the initial release are detailed, including algorithmic optimizations, calculus of the residues, new interfaces in AVALONVIEW, and more. Through case studies and experimental results, the improved AVALON framework is demonstrated to effectively represent an enhancement in the traditional analysis of vibration calculation for Operational Modal Analysis (OMA).
