KURTOSIS REGULATING VIBRATION CONTROLLER APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A vibration control system provides a user-specified value of kurtosis as well as user control over a baseline random spectral density profile. The baseline random spectral density profile and a signal that embeds the desired value of kurtosis are summed in the frequency domain prior to forming a time-domain output waveform that drives a vibration table with attached unit under test. Feedback from a sense transducer attached to the vibration table or the unit under test measures the as-realized vibration's random spectral density and kurtosis value, which are then compared to the desired values to allow correction.
