The continuing demand for engineering products which can withstand severe dynamic environments has led to a steady growth in the sophistication of vibration testprocedures. Increased reliability and performance are required of many products ranging from consumer electronics to military hardware, and a demonstration of survival in a simulated vibration environment is a prime requirement of many procurement specifications. This 3 day short course provides an introduction to the technology of vibration testing and outlines the principal features of typical vibration test programmes.
Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of the subject and only the essential theory is covered.
The Course will include the use and development of test equipment for the artificial generation and measurement of appropriate vibration environments. Instruction will be given in data analysis and interpretation in relation to technical specifications. Lectures will be presented by leading authorities drawn from Universities, MoD establishments, and manufacturing and service organisations. Workshop sessions will be held each day to reinforce ideas introduced in the lectures, and enable delegates to participate in carefully prepared experiments. Delegates will be provided with a comprehensive set of lecture notes.
