Analog Inertial Measurement Unit SpecificationsStandard shaker tests can be driven at different frequencies and amplitudes. For these tests, the specimen can be attached directly to the shaker armature and the vibrating surface can be increased by using a head expander to suit the specimen size. Vertical excitation can be converted to horizontal excitation by using a slip table. In some cases, instead of changing the direction of vibration, the part can be rotated and tested. Test duration and vibration levels are determined from test standards or real-time measurements.
Dynalabs permanent magnet shakers are compact, lightweight and powerful general purpose shakers that can be used for modal and vibration testing. Despite their small size, they have a high DUT capacity. The DYN-PM-20 and PM-100 have an integrated amplifier and sine wave generator with a frequency range of 1Hz to 12,000Hz.
Modal shakers are used to study the vibration behaviour of structures. No specimen is mounted on these shakers. These shakers are attached to the structure with a stinger and the force is transferred from the shaker to the structure via this stinger. The structure under test and/or the modal shaker can be suspended during the test using components such as an elastic rope or spring to simulate free-free boundary conditions. In this way it is possible to excite the specimen at different frequencies. As a result, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the structure can be calculated from the vibration values measured over the structure.
Modal testing can be performed using modal hammers or shakers. If high frequency excitation or signal controlled testing is required, modal shakers are the only excitation solution. Dynalabs modal shakers are lightweight and powerful modal shakers capable of up to 12,000 Hz and force levels up to 440N with a maximum stroke of 25mm.
Applications
Inertial shakers and modal shakers have similar areas of application and are both utilized for evaluating vibrational behavior in structures, such as modal shakers. However, compared to the modal shakers, the connection styles are different. The body of the inertial shaker itself vibrates. For this reason, inertial shakers are fixed directly to the structure. Compared to modal shakers, it is easier to use. Depending on the structure’s dimensions and the desired excitation frequencies and levels, either modal shakers or inertial shakers may be used for vibration testing.
The shakers used in modal testing and in-flight tests of aircrafts are usually electrodynamic shakers. However, these traditional shakers are not very portable, and attaching them takes some time. On the other hand, Dynalabs’ inertial shakers are easily mounted and highly portable. They can be used as hand-held.
Applications
In real life applications, machine parts and mechanical systems are rarely under static loading. Most of the time they are excited by dynamic loads. The structure responds to these dynamic loads according to its dynamic parameters such as natural frequencies and mode shapes. Therefore, an engineer has to have a solid insight about the dynamic behavior of the structure which has been designed. The process of finding the dynamic behavior of a structure is called structural system identification.
Structural system identification consists of finding transfer function of the system which is established by finding the modal parameters of the structure such as, natural frequencies, damping, modal vectors and residues.
Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) is a specific type of modal test that is performed for aircrafts. The GVT is a very important step in the design process of the aircraft and it is a part of the certification process. The test procedure is basically the same as a regular modal test.
The first step is to create similar boundary conditions as encountered in flight. Usually, the aircraft (or spacecraft) is suspended on air glides or the tires of the aircraft are deflated slightly. Suspending the aircraft with bungee cords can also be applied for smaller aircrafts.
CubeSats are small, nano satellites made for space exploration. They are launching as auxiliary payloads. It was developed in the early 2000’s. At first, it was common in universities and among students.
But, it has recently become an industry and educational institution. Government agencies and commercial groups around the world have developed CubeSats. CubeSats have several sizes, which are based on the standard CubeSat unit 1U. A 1U CubeSat is a 10cm x 10cm x 10cm cube with a mass of approximately 1 to 1.33kg. CubeSats are cost effective. Due to their low cost of production, they attract more attention from space exploration. They have a life of 2 years, but you can constantly renew them. Therefore, the use of CubeSat is increasing every year and space explorations are now easier and faster.
