Providing safe and efficient solutions for environmental vibration testing

Read this White Paper on the advantages of multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) control strategies for safe and efficient solutions for environmental vibration testing.

Environmental testing is required in a wide range of industries in which the harshness of the conditions may compromise the functionality of a product. Qualification testing is required to evaluate the survivability of such a product in an operational environment.

The need for time-efficient testing procedures and the guarantee of an accurate replication of the operational environment are two driving factors in the environmental testing community. Reduce costs in the design-verification production cycle and discover the advantages provided by MIMO control strategies.

Discover the advantages of MIMO control strategies

This paper shows how multiple-input, multiple-output control strategies could potentially change the way vibration tests are conducted. It only highlights the time efficiency of this approach, but also shows that proper control strategies can lead to vibration responses that are more representative of operating conditions.

Control strategies must be designed according to the environmental vibration testing objective. To gain flexibility and reduce testing time, MIMO random control and TWR technologies can be implemented, avoiding over- and under-testing and ensuring that data is optimally acquired for prototype design and/or verification purposes.
