Dunkerley's and Rayleigh's methods are introduced, with examples. Damping, transmissibility ratio and resonance stacking are addressed.   PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: A fixture designer must be able to design a test fixture that will transmit the intended input forces directly to the Device under Test. To accomplish this, a designer must have specific skills as well as an understanding of vibration and shock, structures, dynamic theory, materials, fabrication and welding.     PROGRAM OUTLINES: Introduction to Vibration Dynamic Force and Motion Review of Structural Design Fundamentals Frequency and stiffness: Beams, Plates, Gussets Modal Analysis and Modal Testing Random Vibration Mechanical Shock Fatigue Material Selection in Engineering Design Chassis Analysis Example Design Suggestions Introduction to Vibration Exciters Introduction to Fixture Design Vibration Test Fixtures - General Remarks Interface Items Measurement of Sinusoidal Vibration-Accelerometer Systems Sinusoidal Vibration Testing Basic Fixture Types Fixture Fabrication Methods Analysis of an L-Fixture Design of a Cubical test fixture WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This seminar is intended for: Dynamics test and evaluation personnel desiring an understanding of practical approaches to the design and fabrication of test fixtures used in vibration and shock testing. Tooling Engineers responsible for fixture design need this training. Quality Assurance and Reliability specialists will find the course useful. The writers of specifications for environmental tests and for manufacture of fixtures will benefit from knowing of practical limitations that exist. Weapon and product designers who are seeking solutions to vibration and shock problems will also find the course helpful.
