An Equivalent Transportation Vibration Test-Procedures and Techniques Applicable to the Army M732 Field Artillery Fuze

摘要

A random vibration (RV) test in the 5- to 500-Hz range is proposed as a replacement for the MIL-STD-331, Method 119, standard swept sinusoidal transportation vibration (TV) test (5 to 500 Hz, 5 g peak) currently used for lot acceptance testing of M732 fuze safety and arming (S&A) production modules. The objective of this Materials Test Technology (MTT) project is to establish RV test criteria that will produce 'damage' to the S&A module equivalent to that incurred in the standard TV test, but to do so in a manner more consistent with field-imposed TV conditions and to do so in a much shorter test period.
