ABSTRACT:
A method for determining the testing profile for accelerated laboratory random vibrational testing of a product, including the steps of (i) selecting the frequency range covered in the laboratory accelerated testing, (ii) developing a simplified composite Power Spectral Density function PSD.sub.j (f) representative of the PSD for random vibration loadings in expected field vibration levels, (iii) developing the shape of PSD.sub.T for producing on the product the test acceleration forces corresponding to the PSD.sub.j function, (iv) calculating the stress response curve H(f) for the product representative of the transmissibility function from the input acceleration forces to the local vibration stress forces, (v) selecting the test duration, and then calculating the amplification factor from the relationship ##EQU1## (vi) recalculating the accelerated PSD profile, PSD.sub.T (f) for testing based on the selected test duration and the amplification factor: ##EQU2## , and then (vii) testing the product using the selected PSD function, to validate the required performance lifetime for the product when no test failures are observed over all of the T hours.
