Random vibration testing provides energy simultaneously at all frequencies. Vibration testing can help ensure that your new design will survive its intended environment. The problem is knowing how ...

Many readers probably think “black magic” describes the math involved in finding the dynamic response of a structure from random excitation. When can you be sure you have jumped through all the ...

Before testing for potential reliability issues that could crop up with your next board design, familiarize yourself with the physical HALT and virtual-simulation processes. Highly Accelerated ...

NOTE: Click on images or equations to make them larger. Last month’s column discussed the basics of simulating resonant or natural vibration frequencies as an introduction to performing advanced ...
