Vibration specs

Are there some kind of mil spec on the level of vibration that an object can survive? I have worked a little with a shaker table but never done any testing to a standard spec. I have no clue if they even exist but some one on GRM can usually provide an answer to even the most random questions.

MIL-STD-810G Test Method 514.6 Vibration

Depends on type of equipment, avaition stuff would be diffrent I think.

Never messed too deeply, but did some searching.

Whats the object? Your gal and you trying to have some fun? I hear a broken hootus isn't fun, so be careful.

810G apparently superseded F which I have used extensively. I have also used the IEC standards. I used IEC 61373 and found it super aggressive for long life random vibration. The MIL standards are much more realistic and kind.

Basically I am one of two mechanical engineers at my company and we are being asked to create spec sheets for our product which is used in mining applications both above ground and underground but I have very very little experience with any kinds of standards so I am looking at what specs there are to test to and what makes the most sense for us. I mean a number of our things have undergone shaker test to a certain GMRS but that isn't really an industry standard test I don't think.

I remember my old vibration analysis teacher saying: "Vibration isn't a problem until it becomes one". I used to vibration test vertical column water pumps, and I don't remember any sort of standards. But then vibration is pretty simple. You basically have to know two things:

1) natural frequency (in at least the first few modes) of what ever system you are checking. You don't want to have a natural frequency inside a normal operating range

2) displacements caused by vibration in a range of frequencies close to the normal operational frequency.

If you are looking for standards regarding the effects of vibration exposure on humans, than look into ISO2631, ISO7962 and ISO5349.

Hope this helps???

There's a mil spec for everything, even the minimum number of chocolate chips acceptable per cookie.

I'm serious.

Yup, 17 pages long..

Thinking about printing the cookie standards off for my fiance as a joke

Please someone link the mil spec for cookies...

Uh oh. They wrote "cocolate" in the title. Suddenly, I'm a lot more worried about North Korea's threats.
