Sinusoidal vibration permits greater displacement excitation of the test item in the lower frequencies.Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without

5、 license from IHS-,-,-Apply sinusoidal vibration to the test item by sweeping over a frequency range beginning at approximately 10 Hz ( one octave) up to approximately 100 Hz ( one octave). Sweep the frequency range at a logarithmic rate (i.e. delta f/f is constant). Sinusoidal vibration is performe

6、d with the same fixturing and concurrent with random vibration.Sinusoidal vibration is employed to simulate the effects of significant flight environment launch transients. These transients typically produce the dominant loading on primary and secondary structure and many of the larger subsystems an

7、d assemblies. Sinusoidal vibration is the only widespread current method of adequately exciting the lower frequency dynamic modes - particularly those below approximately 40 Hz. Sweeping at a log rate between 1 octave/minute and 6 octaves/minute should avoid application of excessive fatigue cycles.

8、The higher rate is near the upper limit which most control systems can accommodate without experiencing some instability. The use of logarithmic sweep rates has the advantage in that a nearly equal time is spent at resonance for a given Q, independent of frequency.Sinusoidal vibration levels can be
