Jig or Fixture Design Problems and Solutions

Test fixture resonance. Prior to test, a test fixture survey should be conducted to ensure that the structural characteristics of the test fixture do not introduce uncontrollable resonances into the test setup. The survey may be experimental or analytical. If problematic resonances are identified, modifications should be made to the test fixture to shift the resonance beyond the frequency range of the test or to dampen the resonance in order to minimize the effect on the test.

Shock Response Spectrum (SRS)

The Shock Response Spectrum was first conceived by Dr. Maurice Biot and is described in his Ph.D. thesis published in 1932. Therefore, the SRS has been in existence for a long time. It has been used to characterize the frequency response of shock environments to estimate the maximum dynamic response of structures. The SRS is commonly used to characterize the frequency content of an acceleration time-history record. Shock response spectrum analysis is the maximum response of a series of single degree of freedom systems having the same damping to a given transient signal.

Why Do We Need to Perform Vibration Test?

If the prototype cost of our product is relatively small or if development time of our product does not really matter, due to no competition, then we may consider the vibration testing is not really relevant. But if our product is part of vital system in automotive where development time is getting shorter and crucial, or part of vital system in aerospace where prototype cost is relatively expensive and where safety has become very big issue, then having a vibration testing system may be considered as vital investment.
