Click here to purchase This Recommended Practice (RP) provides guidelines for selecting accelerometers to measure shock and vibration in laboratory and field testing environments. There are basically two classes of motion sensors: fixed-reference and mass-spring (relative motion). This RP concentrates on the more common mass-spring type accelerometers, with the sensing element(s) represented by...
Click here to purchase This RP provides rudimentary guidelines for those tasked with selecting a closed-loop digital shaker control system (DSCS) for use in vibration or shock testing, or both. The RP is concerned with single shaker operation only and assumes this system will be used for critical qualification of military or commercial products, for example, according to MIL-STD-810. Product...
Click here to purchase The purpose of this Recommended Practice (RP) is to present guidelines and recommendations for different aspects to be considered when determining whether or how to perform vibration or shock tests using multiple exciters. This RP is not intended to provide a specification for a specific purchase. Rather it is a focused treatise on how the selection of exciters, fixtures,...
Click here to purchase This RP provides an overview of pyroshock testing concepts and compares provisions from other pyroshock documents. Much of this document is devoted to acquisition and analysis of pyroshock data because proper time-history data acquisition and test specification development are common test industry problems. To avoid corrupted pyroshock data and resulting inaccurate...
Click here to purchase This RP is a high-level guide for practicing engineers and engineering managers to use when planning and executing an acoustic test program. A brief overview of the acoustic environment encountered by aeronautical and aerospace systems and the simulation that can be achieved in a HIAT chamber is followed by test philosophy, the description of a few typical test facilities,...
Click here to purchase This Recommended Practice (RP) provides an overview of factors involved in the design, start-up, and operation of facilities in the field of nanotechnology. The overview focuses on the unique considerations related to planning, design, construction, and start-up that typically confront owners, designers, and users of the advanced-technology facilities supporting research or...
Click here to purchase This Recommended Practice (RP) provides facility design information intended to minimize risks for personnel associated with nanotechnology research and production. Using NIOSH "Prevention through Design" principles, the RP addresses safety issues related to incoming materials, products, processes, and byproducts. Methods of risk mitigation are suggested. Facility design...
