Throughout the development cycle of structural components or assemblies that require new and unproven manufacturing techniques, the issue of unit to unit variability inevitably arises. The challenge of defining dynamic similarity between units is a problem that is often overlooked or forgotten, but can be very important depending on the functional criteria of the final product. This work aims to provide some guidance on the approach to such a problem, utilizing different methodologies from the modal and vibration testing community. Expanding on previous efforts, a non-intrusive dynamic characterization test is defined to assess similarity on an assembly that is currently being developed. As the assembly is qualified through various test units, the same data sets are taken to build a database of similarity data. The work presented here will describe the challenges observed with defining similarity metrics on a multi-body structure with a limited quantity of test units. Also, two statistical characterizations of dynamic FRFs are presented from which one may choose criterion based on some judgment to establish whether units are in or out of family. The methods may be used when the intended purpose or functional criteria are unknown.
