Low-Level Sine Sweep

Testing Equipment​

  • Shakertable
  • Structural Sensors (defined in Overview Strucutral Testing)
  • EQM Adapter and EQM Model
  • Locktie for the screws

Test Method​

  • Performed after every major test (not after changing the axis). If we find out that there was a change, we will conduct the tests inbetween but with a sine-sweep after every test (inbetween changes of axis)
  • Frequency-range: 20-500 Hz
  • Sweep rate:2 oct/min
  • Amplitude: 0.25 peak acceleration (Todo: Find out peak acceleration for each axis)
  • Performed on each of the axis
  • Duration: 1h

Check Condition and Requirements​

  • Derive the data according to the procedure in Instar Manual -> Half-Power Method
  • Overlay the two plots and check if there is a shift by more than 5 percentage or an amplitude shift by more than 5 percent. (100 percent = value of the sine-sweep before the test)

Test Results​

<Describe the results of the test in a short fasion>

Test Judgement​

  • Overlay the two plots for each sensor and check if there is a shift by more than 5 percentage or an amplitude shift by more than 5 percent. (100 percent = value of the sine-sweep before the test)
