Mechanical Environments of Defence Materiel

A three-day course tailored to suit those concerned with monitoring aspects of vibration and shock within major trials programmes. The course is centred around DEF STAN 00-35 Part 5 - Induced Mechanical Environments.

The present course addresses the following topics:

Essential aspects of vibration and shock instrumentation and signal processing.
Practical examples within a signal-processing laboratory.
Modal analysis theory.
The modal laboratory.
An overview of DEF STAN 0035 and tailored testing.
Stores and Missiles deployed on Fast Jets.
Materiel deployed on Tracked Vehicles.
Materiel deployed on Helicopters.
Shock Response Analysis.
Transportation (road, rail, air, sea)
Dynamic Modelling.
Finite Element Analysis (overview).
Databanks (overview).

There are numerous opportunities for discussions throughout the course and attendance certificates are presented to the delegates upon completion.

This course is led by the Head of SST assisted by key scientific and project management staff with many years combined experience.

Who should attend?

This course is ideally suited to those who need to evaluate shock and/or vibration trials, correlating the results with dynamic modelling or Finite Element Analysis. It looks carefully at the principle UK defence standard and with particular emphasis of material safety and suitability for service. If intending delegates have no previous experience of shock or vibration, then the delegates should ideally be of graduate level.

This course is usually limited to a maximum of 5 delegates.
