*Intermediate Shock Testing and SRS
Instructor: Robert (Andy) Anderson
A brief overview will examine types of shocks, including classical waveform, transient, pyrotechnic, SRS, and seismic. The problems of measuring and analyzing shocks will be explored, and some helpful tips will be offered. The course will expand into specific shock applications, including MIL-S-901 Underwater Explosion, ballistic impact, and repetitive events.

+Modern Practices in Intermediate Vibration Testing
Instructor: Robert (Andy) Anderson
Vibration testing is rapidly evolving to meet the challenges of today’s larger and more complex systems. The purpose of this course is to offer a comprehensive familiarization with leading edge issues and best practices in vibration during all phases of the system development. Moving beyond the basics to more complex and realistic vibration scenarios, the student will interact with the instructor and fellow students to maximize understanding of leading concepts in fatigue theory, requirements development, advanced test techniques (including multi-axis and synergistic testing), and vibration test management.
Although the course is technical in nature, the material is taught without excessive math. The focus of the course is to give individuals practical insights into how to develop and execute a well-structured vibration program that serves as a basis for making sound technical and business decisions. Numerous “how to” examples and vibration testing “traps or pitfalls” will be discussed in class. During an extensive case study, the students will participate in a detailed practical exercise designed to demonstrate the development and execution of a complex vibration test program.

+Systems Approach to Vibration Testing
Instructor: Robert (Andy) Anderson
This one day course provides an overview of the systems approach to providing the “right” vibration testing to product development. Designed for testing and program managers, as well as test engineers, the class will cover requirement development, the role of test engineering in system development, and risk avoidance using vibration. Topics include: vibration testing in Life Cycle Development; using vibration testing in systems development; use of synergistic environments in risk reduction; use of vibration test artifacts during product development; and advanced vibration techniques and their role in systems testing.
Thursday, November 21
9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Central Time
In-person and virtual
*+Spectrum Analysis from Measurement for Testing
Instructor: Ron Merritt
This training course will provide an overview of the basics of spectrum analysis of time history data. Information for a rational analysis of field measurement time history data and processing this measurement data for the development of laboratory vibration test specifications will also be discussed.
