From that spectrum, the ramp modulated pulse (RMP) technique is proposed as a methodology to synthesize a time history with temporal characteristics that more realistically represent the temporal characteristics of gunfire than that of a SoR time history synthesized via classical SoR generation techniques. This paper provides an alternate technique to the RMP methodology presented in Method 519. The alternate technique is based on normalized exponentially weighted (NEW) time history generated via classical time domain techniques for a SoR vibration test. An outline of the NEW technique and an associated example are provided.","PeriodicalId":35935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the IEST","volume":"60 1","pages":"31-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41516485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such environments never occur naturally; however, they attempt to simulate the corrosion damage that could be expected in service. To what natural environment do these tests correlate? Further, how do tests based on MIL-HDBK-310, MIL-STD-810, and STANAG 2895 B3 daily environments compare to these standard test environments? The analysis employs the Physics-of-Failure (POF) Peck power law temperature-humidity model with common conservative values for the Arrhenius activation energy and the relative humidity exponent, based on aluminum corrosion, coupled with climatological data from 49 United States weather stations and 19 international locations. The monthly average temperature and humidity extremes were transformed into an hourly diurnal cycle assumed to occur every day of each month.

This SDM may be developed in terms of the auto-spectral densities (ASDs) and cross-spectral densities (CSDs) computed from the time histories acquired from an appropriately placed and oriented set of linear accelerometers. Such a direct measurement linear accelerometer based reference criteria will be denoted as SDMmeas. A second technique for defining a reference SDM is in terms of the accelerations associated with the six classical motion degrees-of-freedom as defined at an arbitrary point of origin. Such a reference will be denoted as SDMmotion. The objective at hand is to demonstrate the method of transforming between these two reference criteria spaces.","PeriodicalId":35935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the IEST","volume":"60 1","pages":"21-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42924487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examining the thought process behind early MIL-STD-810 vibration test methods is useful when considering MDOF testing now that it is feasible with today's technology and documented in MIL-STD-810. This paper delves into the details of the decision made in the 1960s to develop the SDOF vibration testing standards in MIL-STD-810 beyond the limitations of technology at the time. This paper also considers the implications for effective test planning today considering the advances in test capabilities and improvements in understanding of the operational environment.","PeriodicalId":35935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the IEST","volume":"36 1","pages":"9-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67782577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
