Force limit specifications vs. design limit loads in vibration testing

Abstract

The purpose of the work presented herein is to discuss the results of force limit notching during vibration testing with respect to the traditional limit load design criteria. By using a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system approach, this work shows that with an appropriate force specification the notched response due to force limiting will result in loads comparable with the structural design limit criteria.

Structural loads prediction in force-limited vibration testing

The purpose of this paper is to study whether the force limiting has accomplished the notching requirement to limit the equipment structural response in low frequency vibration tests to something less than the design load.
