MIMO Vibration Control Overview
MIMO Testing has gained a huge momentum in the past decade with the development of multiple shaker table systems, the availability of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) controllers, and the readiness of the standards (e.g., Mil STD 810G method 527 and IEST DTE 022 working group recommendation). The Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Control System includes the following:

Shock Response Spectrum Analysis
A Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) is a graphical presentation of a transient acceleration pulse’s potential to damage a structure. It plots the peak acceleration responses of a bank of single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) spring, mass damper systems all experiencing the same base-excitation as if on a rigid massless base. Each SDOF system has a different natural frequency; they all have the same viscous damping factor.

Structural Testing Application Examples Using EDM Modal
Illustrated below are some customer applications in varying industries who are using the hardware and software by Crystal Instruments to analyze and understand the structural properties of their test specimen(s). Analyzing the modal characteristics namely natural frequencies, damping and mode shapes of the test unit further helps in improving the design to enhance the mechanical behavior of the test unit.

Vibration Visualization
It is difficult to imagine the actual vibration level and distribution from the numerical display or signals, which are basically a mathematical representation of the vibration experienced by the structure under test. Animating the structure’s deformation provides users with a clearer representation of the intensity from vibration.

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) FRF Testing
EDM Modal MIMO FRF Testing includes a dedicated test setup and operation process flow using multiple simultaneous shakers to acquire FRF signals. Using a large channel count data acquisition system (i.e., Spider- 80X or Spider-80Xi), this shaker excitation method provides much higher efficiency and accuracy for the FRF measurements while minimizing local stresses on the test article.

Multiple Shaker Control
EDM Multi-Shaker Control (MSC) is a software option included in the EDM testing package along with VCS. Multiple Shaker Control provides one centralized interface to interact with multiple controllers running separate tests at the same time. Multi-shaker controllers are not time synchronized unlike in MIMO VCS, in which all drives are time synchronized.
