The Development of Vibration Test Specifications for Spacecraft Applications
Abstract
This document discusses the problem of developing vibration test specifications for flight vehicles from a broad engineering viewpoint. The specific steps related to the development of specifications are outlined, and the various procedures currently employed to accomplish each step are reviewed. The shortcomings of current procedures are then summarized with emphasis on the special problems posed by spacecraft applications. Finally, a logical implementation of state-of-the-art procedures to create efficient vibration test specifications for spacecraft is suggested and outlined. The problems associated with the suggested approach are discussed and areas in need of further study are noted.
