Software replicates vibration test data

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 9, 2002

The M+P International VibControl Time Replication suite of programs provides the complete solution for the transfer of vibration data from the true environment to the test laboratory.

The powerful graphical editor makes light work of reviewing and compiling your field sample data for use in the test lab.

The point editor, filters, velocity and displacement compensation ensure the test feasibility is evaluated at an early stage.

The continuous closed loop controller then replicates sample data files of any length with very high levels of precision.

The control algorithms use a continuous coherence averaging technique to ensure a stable proactive control loop that will not only provide accurate replication but will also respond to changes in test item dynamics.

On test completion, the measured data can be reviewed using reporting tools that will automatically filter data types, embed company logos, use predetermined report layouts and, if required, users can send the data to their customers in an active format with the electronic report copy.

Applications include: road load signal replication of test track, race circuit or road conditions, automotive accelerated product durability testing, replication of flight recorded vibration, long-time transient signal replication (eg earthquake simulation), replication of package transportation vibration data, engine vibration replication, gunfire simulation from recorded or SRS synthesised data.

As part of the overall VibControl family of shaker controllers, the Time Replication software is fully compatible with other vibration test modes, such as random, sine, shock, SRS and mixed mode.

As with all our VibControl systems the Simulator can be used in conjunction with the test sequencer software for the control of highly advanced and complex sequences requiring loops and multiple surfaces.
