Hands-on Training on Vibration Testing According to Military and Civil Test Standards

Hands On Training on Vibration Tests According to Military and Civil Test Standards

Practical Training on Vibration Tests According to Military and Civil Test Standards. Hand on Training. MIL-STD-810H. RTCA-DO-160G. Helicopter Vibrations. Rotary Aircraft Vibrations. Vibration Testing. Jet Aircraft Vibrations. Road Vibrations.

Vibration tests are one of the most difficult sections to understand in MIL-STD-810 and RTCA-DO-160 test standards. There are many tests depending on the platform and transportation modes to be applied. Dr. Ismail Cicek and his team at Istanbul Technical University Maritime Test Equipment Center (ITU METC) in the Tuzla Campus of Istanbul Technical University give applied vibration test training. The trainings that cover the tests specified in MIL-STD-810H and RTCA-DO-160G include theoretical and application sections using vibrators. Application sections include periodic and efficiency test envelopes and mechanical shock profiles selected from military and civil standards. These are entered into the vibration test system, test execution, and results evaluation exercises.

Shock test profiles are discussed theoretically, and tests are demonstrated with various selected durations, amplitudes (G), and shaker profiles. All tests are discussed and applied on a shaker table to understand the test parameters better.
