The flight acceptance (FA) test level should be equal to or Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-greater than the maximum pre

Qualification and protoflight test levels should have margin above the FA level.Random vibration testing has two principal objectives:1. To verif

To screen the workmanship integrity of the flight equipment.Random vibration criteria should be developed by the process described in the following four steps:1. Determine the Power Spectra

5、l Density (PSD) of the random vibration directly transmitted into the flight article through its mounts from the launch vehicle ources such as engine firing, turbopumps, etc (see Figure 1). These vibration conditions at the launch vehicle-to-payload interface are typically available from the launch

Statistical energy analysis (SEA) methods such as the VAPEPS (VibroAcoustic Payload Environment Prediction System) program are effective predictors in the higher

7、frequencies (see Figure 2). The VAPEPS program can also effectively extrapolate from a database using SEA techniques to provide predictions for a similar configuration. If random vibration predictions are needed for the lower frequencies, finite element analysis methods, such as NASTRAN, are commonl

This is particularly applicable to electronic assemblies for which minimum effective workmanship levels have been established based on extensive test e

This excitation is impractical to simulate for electronic assemblies at the assembly level because of fixture complexity, etc. Therefore, random vibration

It is generally perceived by users to be the most realistic environment to reproduce in the vibration test laboratory as well as an effective
