Equipment Reliability Institute - ERI
ERI is a specialized engineering school that focuses on solving hardware reliability and durability problems. ERI offers training at client facilities (onsite courses), at major cities (open courses), via computer-based training (distance learning in vibration and shock testing) and also through
Event for Equipment Reliability Institute - ERI
Fundamentals of Random Vibration and Shock Test Training
Washington Laboratories Ltd. Maryland , United States
Admission:
paid
Description:
Discussion, supported by projected visuals and video clips. Commencing with a review of basic vibrations, sources and causes, we will explore vibration measurements, analysis and calibration. We'll compare sinusoidal vs. random vibration testing systems, specifications, standards and procedures. We will discuss ESS, HALT and HASS. We'll emphasize vibration and shock test fixture design, fabrication, experimental evaluation and usage. Also shock measurement, shock response spectrum (SRS) and shock testing. Review of modal testing. We emphasize topics you will use immediately.
Today and in the near future we protectively install commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment in our flight, land vehicles and shipboard locations where vibration and shock can be severe. We laboratory test the protected equipment (1) to assure twenty years equipment survival and possible combat, also (2) to meet commercial test standards, IEC documents, military standards such as STANAG or MIL-STD-810G, etc. Few if any engineering schools teach about such protection or such testing. Hence this specialized course.
