Vibration Research formed as a private company in 1995
45 employees in development, research and production
More as 4.500 installed Vibration Control system world wide
Global Customer Base
In 2014 new building in Jenison
§  Pioneered many vibration testing techniques
§  First to perform long time history replication on ED shakers - We call it F.D.R. Field Data
Replication
§  New featuring kurtosis control (Kurtosion®)
§  VRC has received U.S. patent number 4,726,726 for its Kurtosion® software
§  Introduced FDS - Fatigue Damage Spectrum
§  Introduced iDOF - Instant Degrees of Freedom
Using Fatigue Damage Spectrum for Accelerated
Testing with Correlation to End-Use Environment
§  Key Point´s and Questions for the customer are:
1.  Can I reproduce the measured different complex time signals in an easy way?
2.  How can I generate PSD profiles from the time signals in a realistic and reproducible way?
3.  Comparison of the fatigue damage between the Time signal and the generated RANDOM
signal
Actual Situation - Where are we?
Actual Situation
§  Simulation of mechanical stress is included in the design, development
and qualification of products
§  Use of mathematically generated time signals
§  Derivation of parameterized models
§  Good correspondence between failures in the field and in the
laboratory simulation
None of the signals thus generated is identical to the load in the field.
We can´t reproduce and justify all failures.
Vibration Testing in the Real World
§  Use of standardized test specifications
§  ISO 16750; MIL 810; RTCA DO160; VW 80000; ASTM 4728; EN 60068; IEC 17025
§  Can´t answer all Questions
§  A lot of possibilities and an a big field of interpretation
§  Many papers to read
Handling of the Time Signal
§  Create a Test Profile from Time History Data

Method 1: Peak Hold PSD
Method 2: Average PSD
Method 3: Field Data Replication
Method 4: PSD Profile with the same Fatigue
Method 1 - Peak Hold PSD
§  PEAK HOLD - FFT based on peaks, from each time block
AccelerationSpectralDensity(G²/Hz)
§  Extracts the peaks from the blocks of data
§  Max Values from each Time Block are used to create the PSD Spectrum
§  Critical for time signals with short events (pulses)

Method 2 – Average PSD
§  AVERAGE - FFT of each block of data is averaged together
AccelerationSpectralDensity(G²/Hz)
§  Creates a uniform average - power of the test
§  Critical for time signals with highly variable RMS value
§  This method “lose” short events

4 Key Questions came up with our comparison
§  Is it possible to design a vibration test (profile and test time) that accurately
simulates the End-Use Environment of a product throughout its lifetime?
§  Is it possible to confidently combine multiple, complex time signals into a single
test profile?
§  Is it possible to reliably accelerate a test and maintain an accurate simulation of
imported field data?
§  How I can compare all my new test profiles?
Method 4: Fatigue Damage Spectrum
§  Same recording duration - same test time
§  Same Frequency Range
§  Accounts for time history, duration, and fatigue damage

N = c ∗ S −b
permanently
§  N=Numberofstresscyclestofailure
§  S=peakamplitudeofcyclicalstress
§  b=faQgueparameter
§  c is experimentally found to be between 0.7 and 2.2.
Usually for design purposes, c is assumed to be 1.

How works the Calculation of the
Fatigue Damage Spectrum?
§  The acceleration waveform is converted to a velocity waveform
§  Velocity is desired because Henderson-Piersol equations
utilize velocity - Velocity has a direct relationship to stress
§  Stress waveform is narrow-band filtered and the defined Q value
is used
§  Q value determines filter bandwidth
§  Cycle counting and damage calculation ensure in each frequency-bin
to determine damage contributions over a spectrum of frequencies.
§  Spectrum spacing determines number of points in spectrum
(number of frequency bins)

How works the Calculation of the

Fatigue Monitor - VibrationView Software
§  We have 4 different time signals and would like to make a random test that
recreates the same fatigue.
§  We want to run an equivalent of 10.000 hours of desired life time in 30 hours
vibration test
§  select a ‘b’ and ‘Q’ value for your data and product.
−b
§  “b” is calculated with: N i = c ∗ Si
§  “Q” or quality factor is used in narrow band pass filter calculations, and will affect the
smoothness of the Fatigue damage
§  If you are not sure then MIL-Std 810 suggests b = 8 and Q = 50.
(see pg. 288 of MIL-STD 810G)
