5、ration inputs at the critical frequencies, whenthese product resonances are within the expected transportationenvironment frequency range. Since vibration damage is mostlikely to occur at product resonant frequencies, these may bethought of as potential product fragility points.1.3 Information obtai

This may become necessary if a productsresponse would require design of an impractical or excessivelycostly shipping container.1.4

Apparatus5.1 Vibration Test Machine, consisting of a flat h
24、orizontaltest surface of sufficient strength and rigidity such that theapplied vibrations are essentially uniform over the entire testsurface when loaded with the test specimen. The test surfaceshall be driven to move only in horizontal linear motionthroughout the desired range of amplitudes and fre
25、quencies.5.1.1 Sinusoidal ControlThe frequency and amplitude ofmotion shall be variable, under control, to cover the rangespecified in 10.4.5.1.2 Random ControlThe frequency and amplitude ofmotion shall be continuously variable, under control to achievethe bandwidths, amplitudes and overall g rms va
26、lues specifiedin 10.5.5.2 Specimen-Mounting Devices, of sufficient strength andrigidity to attach the product securely to the test surface. Theresonant frequency of the mounting devices shall be, at aminimum, twice that of the high end of the intended test rangefor the product. The device(s) shall s
27、upport the product in amanner similar to the way in which it will be supported in itsshipping container. Relative motion between the test surfaceand the test mounting interface shall not be permitted.5.3 Instrumentation:5.3.1 Sensors, signal conditioners, filters, and data acquisi-tion apparatus are
28、 required to monitor or record, or both, theaccelerations and frequencies at the test surface of the appara-tus and at points of interest in the product. The instrumentationsystem shall have a response accurate to within 65 % over thetest range.NOTE 2Strain gage type accelerometers may be required t

Safety Precautions6.1 WarningThis test method may produ
31、ce severe me-chanical response in the product being tested. Therefore, themeans used to fasten the product to the test surface must be ofsufficient strength to keep it adequately secured. Operatingpersonnel must remain alert to potential hazards and takenecessary precautions for their safety. Stop t
32、he test immedi-ately if a dangerous condition should develop.7. Sampling7.1 Test specimens and the number of samples shall bechosen to permit an adequate determination of representativeperformance. Whenever sufficient products are available, fiveor more replicate samples should be tested to improve
33、thestatistical reliability of the data obtained (see Practice E 122).8. Test Specimen8.1 The product as intended for packaging shall constitutethe test specimen. Sensor(s) may be applied as appropriate tomeasure data at points of interest with the minimum possiblealteration of the test specimen. In
34、particular, sensors shall belightweight and have flexible cables to prevent changing eitherthe effective weight or stiffness of the components to whichthey are mounted, thereby changing the resonant frequencies ofD 5112 98 (2009)2the components. Parts and surfaces of the specimen may bemarked for id
35、entification and reference. When necessary toobserve the interior components of the product during testing,holes may be cut in noncritical areas, or noncritical panels maybe removed.9. Conditioning9.1 Condition test specimens prior to testing and maintainthem in accordance with any specific requirem
36、ents applicableto the item being tested. In the absence of other specificrequirements, conditioning in accordance with Practice D 4332is recommended (standard conditioning atmosphere of 23 62C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 2 % relative humidity).10. Procedure10.1 Perform the tests in the conditioned enviro
37、nment orimmediately upon removal from that environment.10.2 Attach the test specimen to the test surface of theapparatus in a manner that will prevent the specimen fromleaving or moving across the test surface during vibration.Caution is necessary to avoid mounting methods that causeexcessive stress
38、 or strain that could alter the response of theproduct.10.3 Test intensities shall be sufficient to vibrate the productat acceleration and frequency levels that determine if productresonances exist in the expected frequency range of thetransportation environment. Typical products may exhibit reso-na
39、nt frequencies ranging from 1.0 to 100 Hz. Accelerationlevels sufficient to excite resonance normally range from 0.1 to0.5 g.10.4 Sinusoidal VibrationTest Method A:10.4.1 Select an acceleration level between 0.1 and 0.5 g(zero-to-peak). Sweep the frequency range from 1 to 100 Hz,starting at 1 Hz and
40、 varying the frequency of the vibration at acontinuous logarithmic rate of 0.5 to 1.0 octaves/min to 100 Hzand back to 1 Hz using either automatic or manual sweep,while maintaining a nearly constant acceleration level.10.4.2 Select an acceleration level between 0.1 and 0.5 g(zero-to-peak). Starting
41、at 1 Hz, vary the frequency of thevibration at a continuous logarithmic rate of 0.5 to 1.0octaves/min to 100 Hz and back to 1 Hz. Record any resonantresponses of the product, repeating the cycle if necessary.NOTE 3Low frequency vibration requires a long stroke. It may benecessary to reduce the accel
42、eration level inputs at low frequencies inorder to stay within the stroke capabilities of the test equipment. This canbe accomplished by dividing the test into two or more frequency rangeswith different input acceleration levels. Response levels from differentinput acceleration levels may result in
43、different transmissibilities.NOTE 4Frequencies above and below the frequency range from 1.0 to100 Hz may be necessary or desirable for some products.10.5 Random VibrationTest Method B:10.5.1 Start the vibration system such that the PSD levels donot overshoot the desired spectrum during startup. It i
44、s recom-mended that tests be initiated at least 6 dB below full level andincremented in one or more subsequent steps to full test level.Operate at full test level for a time duration long enough for thecontrol system to stabilize and for the data to be averagedsufficiently to represent stable spectr
45、um shapes and levels,usually 3 min or more. This time is dependent upon thecharacteristics of the vibration test machine and control sys-tem, the setup, and the weight and characteristics of the testspecimen.10.5.2 Use a spectrum representative of the expected trans-portation environment or a flat b
46、roadband spectrum. It isrecommended that the minimum frequency range be from 1 to100 Hz, the overall g rms be not less than 0.2, and that themaximum variation in power spectral density over the totalfrequency range be 30 dB or less. Record any resonantresponses of the product.NOTE 5Spectrum shapes a
47、nd levels may be important, due to productresponses which are nonlinear with variations in amplitude. For somespecific product/environmental combinations, higher frequencies orhigher-amplitude spectra may be required to produce observable productresonances. For an example, see MIL-STD 810.10.6 Monit
48、or the acceleration and frequency data sensed onthe test surface to ensure that the desired test conditions areproduced. Mount the accelerometer, in the direction of motion,as close as possible to the test specimen or in a location whichproduces data representative of table motion.10.7 Monitor the t
49、est specimen and its components for anyresonant vibrations. Use a stroboscope, sensors and readouts;visual, auditory or other means, as applicable, to determinethese resonances. Any resonances with transmissibilities of 2or greater may be considered significant. For sine testing, thefrequency sweep may be interrupted or reversed if necessaryfor short time periods in order to properly identify a resonatingcomponent.10.8 Record the frequencies of any resonances and identifythe product components that are resonating. For sine testing, ifdifferent freque
