Three-dimensional random vibration testing definition and simulation

An approach is presented for the definition of 3D random vibration test requirements for multiaxial shaker systems. In particular, it is shown that, by utilizing coherence functions for cross-correlation effects, test requirements can be defined in a simple way and provide a more realistic environmental simulation. The method is applicable to the simulation of all field environments and can be similarly employed to develop laboratory test requirements based on field data. Example problems are presented to demonstrate the approach.

Three-dimensional test requirement for random vibration testing

An approach to defining and evaluating three-dimensional vibration test requirements is discussed. The approach is used to develop the three-dimensional space random-vibration test requirements for missile components subjected to truck transportation environments. One-dimensional testing parameters such as power spectral density and overall g rms values for three mutually perpendicular directions represent the test requirements. The coherence characteristics between each input axis were established and adjusted empirically in an attempt to simulate the cross-correlation in three-dimensional random vibration excitation.
