SANTA BARBARA, CA, May 27, 2011
The severe vibrations aboard rockets, spacecraft, and satellites en route to orbit and those less severe but sometimes troublesome of military and commercial aircraft (especially helicopters), military and naval land and sea vehicles, and automobiles are among the subjects that Wayne Tustin will discuss at the “Fundamentals of Random Vibration and Shock Testing, HALT, ESS, HASS (…)” course, Nov. 7-9, at National Technical Systems in Acton, MA, http://equipment-reliability.com/vibration_course5.html
The November course also will deal with accelerometers used in measurements over the road, over the waves, in flight and during rocket launch and powered flight. Accelerometer signals usually are telemetered to recording stations. One use of the resulting data is the generation of programs to control laboratory platforms called shakers. These are used to test parts of future vehicles.
Since 1962, Wayne Tustin has trained thousands of mechanical engineers in measurement and testing. He heads Equipment Reliability Institute (ERI), a specialized engineering school that he founded in 1995. ERI focuses on solving hardware reliability and durability problems. It offers its engineering specialties at client facilities, at major cities, and via distance learning, and ERI specialists consult on specific problems. http://www.equipment-reliability.com
