1 Scope
This document provides a test procedure for use with multi-exciter and multi-axis
vibration test systems. The vibration test is intended for general application to
components, equipment, and other products, hereinafter referred to as "specimens",
subjected to dynamic environments that could arise during an equipment life cycle.
Although this document is mainly intended for vibration testing, the procedure is
also applied to certain types of shock and transient tests.
The test procedure set out in this document is applicable where a specimen is required
to demonstrate its adequacy to resist specified vibration, shock and transient conditions,
without unacceptable degradation of functional or structural performance. The test
procedure has significant similarity to test procedures of other IEC 60068‑2 documents and encompasses the same range of vibration and shock excitation types.
This document is applicable to specimens subjected to vibration, shock and transient
conditions resulting from transportation and/or operational environments, for example
in aircraft, space vehicles and land vehicles. It is primarily intended for unpackaged
specimens. It is applicable to specimens in their transportation container when the
latter are considered as part of the specimen itself.
The test method and associated techniques addressed within this document are primarily
intended for use with multiple electrodynamic or servo-hydraulic vibration generators
along with an associated computer-based digital control system to control of the specimen
excitations.
This document encompasses two testing approaches, commonly referred to as
