The Shock and Vibration Digest. Volume 17, Number 4

Abstract

The use of microcomputers in shock and vibration is not new; they have been used in experimental applications almost since their inception. Some of the tasks included shock spectra computations, balancing of rotating shafts, acquisition and processing of materials properties data and spectral analysis. The computing power of the early models of microcomputers was limited, but the rapid advances in the digital electronics technology have resulted in the availability of more powerful computers that are both inexpensive and easy to use. The newer models of performing far more extensive experimentally oriented computation tasks such as processing measured field data, machinery condition monitoring, machinery diagnosis and structural modification analysis.
