The Resonance-Envelope Random Vibration Test,
Abstract
The development of the conventional vibration test to its present form is briefly reviewed, and the reasons for the current loss of confidence in its effectiveness are discussed. The test is seen to be based upon two premises of questionable validity: that it is both feasible and reasonable to impose upon a store a predetermined pattern of motion, regardless of its dynamic reactions. A simpler and more trustworthy test can be derived by making use of the natural processes which give rise to vibration in the service environment. The development of such a test is described in detail, with particular reference to the expressed views of likely users. (Author)
