Accelerated vibration testing

BASED ON FATIGUE DAMAGE SPECTRA. Code International, 2Woodbourn Roa. Failure of an aerospace component can arise through the long term exposure to fatigue damaging events such as large numbers of low . This testing procedure provides an.

Engineers want to test products to failure so they can determine how long they are likely to survive in service and find ways to improve them.

However, they do not want to spend any more time than is absolutely necessary to reach these .

Note that the vibrations are by no means repeti- tive.

So there is an important need for tests that are not repetitive or predictable. Random vibration testing accomplishes this. The vibration testing of components in the automotive industry requires long testing times and the use of expensive facilities.

To shorten these testing times an accelerated vibration - testing approach is usually applied. This research tries to shorten these testing times by considering the parameters that define vibration- testing . A procedure to derive the acceleration power spectral density (PSD) profiles for the random vibration test based on the transport scenario and classification method of vibration severity was proposed. By using the proposed metho a PSD profile for the random vibration test which simulates the transport conditions was also . This article examines some of the basics of accelerated life testing and some techniques to utilize the inverse power law to improve testing time, cost and life. Methods for conducting accelerated vibration fatigue testing of structures, such as MIL-STD-810G, allow for the non-linear scaling of the test time with the inverse of the rms vibration amplitude based on the slope of the material S-N curve obtained from cyclic fatigue tests.

Based on theoretical analysis and fatigue damage model, several groups of random vibration . One is the time duration of the test must be the length of time given in the specification and this may be too long for practical product testing. Therefore, a method for time compression or accelerated testing may be needed. It is not sufficient to double the vibration amplitude and assume the failure will occur .
