Description

This part of EN 60068 gives a method of test applicable to components, equipment and other articles which, during transportation or in service, may be subjected to conditions involving vibration of a harmonic pattern, generated primarily by rotating, pulsating or oscillating forces in ships, aircraft, land vehicles, rotorcraft and space applications or are caused by machinery and seismic phenomena.

This European Standard involves subjecting a specimen to sinusoidal vibration over a given frequency range or at discrete frequencies, for a given period of time. The main part of this standard deals primarily with the methods of controlling the test at specified points using either analogue or digital techniques, and gives, in detail, the testing procedure.
