Simulation of the Dynamic Environment for Missile Component Testing: Demonstration

Abstract

The problems in defining a realistic test requirement for missile and space vehicle components can be classified into two categories: (1) definition of the test environment representing the expected service condition, and (2) simulation of the desired environment in the test laboratory. Recently, a new 3- dimensional (3D) test facility was completed at the U.S. Army Harry Diamond Laboratory (HDL) to simulate triaxial vibration input to a test specimen. The vibration test system is designed to support multi-axial vibration tests over the frequency range of 5 to 2000 Hertz. The availability of this 3D test system motivates the development of new methodologies addressing environmental definition and simulation. Keywords: Three dimensional; Spectral matrix; Missile fuze; Vibration testing; Random vibration; Truck transportation; Flight vibration.
