Kannapolis, North Carolina - April 2025
Overview: Hands on testing to design and run a vibration test (random, sine and classical shock). Instrument accelerometers and run the testing on bare table, determine performance limits, best practices and troubleshooting. During operation, learn how to optimize displays and use unique visualization to see the mode shape in real time. Use a mass simulator to repeat the testing and learn the benefits. Finally, install the test article and run the test. Automatically generate the report to document the testing when the test is completed. Post process data including time data and export to various formats.

1. Design, instrument and run vibration tests - shaker parameters and troubleshooting

2. Visible self-check, Test schedule and Shaker limits

   1. Random (Profile build, Sigma clipping, Kurtosis, Multi-Spectral resolution, Cycle Counting, Fatigue Damage, Non-linear control, Optimization, Variance reduction)

   2. Sine (Profile build, compression rate, shaped random pretest, advanced predictive notching, hydraulic control, low frequency smoothing, Total harmonic distortion calculation, limit channels (Peak, RMS, filtered, mean), advanced limiting (summed forces, Vector RSS, overturning moment)

   3. Classical Shock - Profile build, Pulse types, MilSpec/ISO or customized tails, compensation types and pulse type, Non-linear correction rate, low pass filter, high pass filter, automatic level adjustment when exceeding 0dB, cross plot signals, over sampling

3. Limit channels, Event actions, Throughput to local storage and/or PC, FRF, Time Statistics, Calculated results, Automated reporting with customization.

4. Additional profile based on class interest and time (SRD, SRS, TWR, etc.)
