Wayne Tustin will discuss earthquakes which are one of the vibrations subjects at the “Fundamentals of Random Vibration and Shock Testing” course. He will also discuss the severe vibrations aboard rockets, spacecraft and satellites en route to orbit and the less severe but sometimes troublesome vibrations of automobiles and other land vehicles.
This course will also deal with accelerometers,
used in measuring vibrations over the road, over the waves, in flight and
during rocket launch and powered flight, as at Vandenberg Air Force Base.
Accelerometer signals are usually telemetered to recording stations. One use of
the resulting data is the generating of programs to control vibrating
laboratory platforms called shakers.
