DTE- 019 Vibration Controller Selection  - Chair: Mr. Tony Keller, Spectral Dynamics

Heron: 1:00 - 2:30 PM

Selecting a new digital vibration control system for your lab is an important but need not be a daunting experience. DTE-019 is tasked with creating a recommended practice to assist those tasked with choosing a control system for their organization. Please join us to input your ideas or listen to other inputs as this Committee reaches the final phases of creating this important document.
 

DTE-022 Multi-Shaker Test and Control - Chair: Mr. Tony Keller, Spectral Dynamics

Heron: 2:20 - 4:00 PM

Using more than one shaker to test large or unusually shaped objects is becoming a well accepted part of the vibration testing industry. Also, as interest in simultaneously testing articles in multiple axis increases, the need for guidelines to understand MIMO (multiple input multiple output) testing grows more important. Here is your chance to get up to speed on and contribute to our growing database on multi shaker concepts, fixturing, control and reporting.

Bolted Joints Under UNDEX Shock Discussion Group - Leader: Mr. James Jennings, NSWCCD

Theater: 11:00 - 12:00 PM

 

For most Navy equipments and systems, designing bolted joints for UNDEX shock is easy - just use the standard formulas and values. However, experience has shown that the standard formulas and values don't always work, and when they don't work the consequences can be very expensive. This Discussion Group is a forum for the Navy community to share problems with designing bolted joints, discuss on-going or proposed efforts to solve these problems, and to brainstorm a way (or ways) forward.
