RANDOM VIBRATION TERMINOLOGY AND ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4026713
A pedagogical discussion is presented of: 1) the common terms occurring in random waveform analysis and the relationships between them; 2) the equipment used to collect and measure laboratory and field data; and 3) the limitations and inaccuracies of equipment as they apply to the statistical quality of the measurements. Discussions are presented of broad and narrow-band random noise; stationarity and ergodicity; power spectral density; the accuracy of the mean- square measurement technique; and the swept-filter, real-tirne, and amplitude probability density analyzers.
