Environmental testing - Part 3-8: Supporting documentation and guidance - Selecting amongst vibration tests

Provides guidance for selecting amongst the EN 60068-2 stationary vibration test methods Fc sinusoidal, Fh random and F(x) Mixed mode vibration. The different steady-state test methods and their aims are briefly described in Clause 4. Transient test methods are not included. For vibration testing, the environmental conditions, especially the dynamic conditions for the specimen, should be known. This standard helps to collect information about the environmental conditions (Clause 5), to estimate or measure the dynamic conditions (Clause 6) and gives examples to enable decisions to be made on the most applicable environmental vibration test method. Starting from the condition, the method of selecting the appropriate test is given. Since real life vibration conditions are dominated by vibration of a random nature, random testing should be the commonly used method, see Table 1, Clause 7. The methods included hereafter may be used to examine the vibration response of a specimen under test before, during and after vibration testing. The selection for the appropriate excitation method is described in Clause 8 and tabulated in Table 2. In this standard specification, writers will find information concerning vibration test methods and guidance for their selection. For guidance on test parameters, or severities of one of the test methods, reference should be made to the normative references. Has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104.

Essais d'environnement - Partie 3-8: Documentation d'accompagnement et lignes directrices - Sélection d'essais de vibrations

Fournit les lignes directrices pour la sélection parmi les méthodes d'essais Fc de vibrations stationnaires sinusoïdales, Fh aléatoires et Fx composites de la série 60068-2. Ces différentes méthodes d'essais quasi stationnaires ainsi que leur objet sont brièvement décrites à l'Article 4. Les méthodes d'essais en transitoire ne sont pas incluses. Lors de la réalisation d'essais en vibration, il convient de connaître les conditions d'environnement, et spécialement les conditions dynamiques du spécimen en essai. La présente norme aide à réunir l'information relative aux conditions d'environnement (Article 5), à estimer ou à mesurer les conditions dynamiques (Article 6) et donne des exemples afin d'illustrer les choix à réaliser pour la plupart des méthodes d'essais applicables en environnement vibratoire. A partir des conditions d'environnement, la méthodologie de choix de l'essai approprié est fournie. Puisque les conditions d'environnement vibratoire naturelles sont de nature aléatoire, il est recommandé que les essais en vibrations aléatoires soient généralement, les méthodes retenues (voir Tableau 1, Article 7). Les méthodes décrites ci-après peuvent être utilisées pour examiner la réponse vibratoire du spécimen en essai avant, pendant et après un essai de vibrations. Le choix de la méthode appropriée est décrit à l'Article 8 et présenté au Tableau 2. Les spécificateurs trouveront dans la présente norme les informations relatives aux méthodes d'essais vibratoires et les lignes directrices pour choisir parmi elles la méthode appropriée. Pour choisir les paramètres ou les sévérités relatives à l'une de ces méthodes, il y a lieu de se reporter aux références normatives. A le statut d'une publication fondamentale de sécurité conformément au Guide 104 de la CEI.
