It is a well known fact that the shaker used in the vibration test interacts with the test structure and thus influences the test results. A two degree of freedom model of shaker is suggested and the vibration parameters of this model is experimentally extracted. According to this experimental results, the vibration parameters of the shaker can vary with respect to the test structure as well as the stinger used in the connecting mechanism. It is also found that the vibration parameters of the shaker provided by the manufacturer can not be accurate and these parameter values should be revaluated based on the test environments.
