ASA S2.5-1962 (R2001) [ Withdrawn ] American National Standard Recommendations for Specifying the Performance of Vibration Machines

standard by American National Standards of the Acoustical Society of America, 01/01/1962

Full Description

Scope. Types of vibration machines considered include only those used for exciting vibrations in equipment or structures in order to provide assurance that such equipment or structures be able to withstand conditions of vibration they may encounter in later service. Shakers, such as are used for sifting, mixing, or unloading operations, and machines designed specifically forfatigue testing are excluded. Three types of vibration machines are considered: the mechanical direct-drive; the mechanical reaction type, which includes the vibration exciter and vibration machine as separate items; and the electrodynamic. Other types, involving hydraulic excitation, resonant systems, piezoelectric application for instrument calibrations, and special vibrationmachines for testing packages come under the general scope of this standard; however, the exploratory nature of this work does not make a complete coverage of this field appear feasible at this time. Purpose. This standard provides specifications for the presentation of information covering the characteristics of vibration machines. The intent of these specifications is to insure the user of receiving an accurate description of the characteristics of a particular machine.
