  • 1.  Transportation Random Vibration Innovations

    Posted 06-21-2018 01:40 PM
    To anyone's knowledge, has there been any new test methods developed to utilize random vibration testing to simulate or account for vibration/shock inputs other than/along with the traditional vertical directional?

    ISTA, through the Advocate Research and Value Delivery Program, has a research project currently underway to collect field data on multi-axis vibration.  This field data will then be translated into an industry developed test method(s) which will fill a void in the packaging industry as there are no industry developed multi-axis vibration standards published.  Clemson University and Michigan State University were both awarded contracts for Phase I and recently completed data collection & analysis of this research initiative.  You can find more details on ISTA's Advocate Program and scope of this proposed research project at ISTA.org or through the link below.

    Not answering your question directly, but still relevant.
    We've developed a wireless, next generation data tracker that measures shock and vibration ( full waveforms) as well as temperature, pressure and humidity.
    Some of our customers are using them for real life experimentations (we initially build this to be used in production, out with each product, in the crate or attached to the product). Since our business model is a yearly subscription that includes refurbishment, recalibration and most importantly, replacement of the tracker if it is not returned from the client's site. We are seeing a lot of interest in using them to obtain data for shipments to places such as Brazil, Nigeria, etc.
