Mechanical tests vibration

When noncontacting vibration probes are furnished, accurate records of electrical and mechanical runout for the full 360 degrees at each probe location shall be included in the mechanical test report. 

Chemical, Physical, and Mechanical Tests. Manufactured friction materials are characterized by various chemical, physical, and mechanical tests in addition to friction and wear testing. The chemical tests include thermogravimetric analysis (tga), differential thermal analysis (dta), pyrolysis gas chromatography (pgc), acetone extraction, liquid chromatography (lc), infrared analysis (ir), and x-ray or scanning electron microscope (sem) analysis. Physical and mechanical tests determine properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, tensile or flexural strength, and hardness. Much attention has been placed on noise /vibration characterization. The use of modal analysis and damping measurements has increased (see Noise POLLUTION AND ABATEMENT).

Dynamic mechanical tests have been widely applied in the viscoelastic analysis of polymers and other materials. The reason for this has been the technical simplicity of the method and the low tensions and deformations used. The response of materials to dynamic perturbation fields provides information concerning the moduli and the compliances for storage and loss. Dynamic properties are of considerable interest when they are analyzed as a function of both frequency and temperature. They permit the evaluation of the energy dissipated per cycle and also provide information concerning the structure of the material, phase transitions, chemical reactions, and other technical properties, such as fatigue or the resistance to impact. Of particular relevance are the applications in the field of the isolation of vibrations in mechanical engineering. The dynamic measurements are a... 

In many laboratories (BR and NCT) further tests at either full or reduced scale are carried out on rigs designed to simulate specific applications. Candidate materials with suitable properties chosen from the small scale mechanism tests are then run on these rigs under realistic or scaled loads, speeds, geometries, types of motion and surface finishes. Sometimes the actual service component can be operated in the laboratory to avoid the necessity to manufacture a special rig. In either instance it is still not possible to simulate all factors which affect wear such as vibration, shock loads, abrasion from airborne dust and corrosion. 

DMTA (or DMA)—the exciting of a material with a periodic stress and monitoring of the resultant strain—has become a commonly used technique for both scientists and engineers who need to know the viscoelastic properties of a material with respect to temperature, humidity, vibration frequency, dynamic or static strain amplitude, or other parameter against time. This chapter will attempt to introduce its principles, cover a short history of the technique relating it to other mechanical tests, and discuss its application to a wide range of polymers and other materials. 

Table 5.3 lists the principal experimental methods used in dynamic mechanical testing. Of the experiments considered below, the thermal scan mode (method 1) is the technique most commonly used by thermal analysts. Here typical applications in quality control or processing look for differences in material batches, thermal history, different grades, reactivity, and other characteristics. The stepped isotherm (or step isothermal) experiment (method 2) is used mainly in studies involving detailed mechanical property determination for structural analysis, vibration damping applications, and for determining time-temperature superposition master curves. Method 3 (fast scan or single isotherm) is application specific. 

In the dynamic mechanical tests, either a vibrational force or a deformation is applied to the specimen, and then the sinusoidal response of either the deformation or force is measured, respectively. The dynamic mechanical properties are measured as a function of frequency at a constant temperature or as a function of temperature. The temperature dependence of dynamic viscoelasticity is conveniently used by the plastic industry to characterize solid polymers. Recently, various kinds of equipment for measuring dynamic viscoelasticity are commercially available and widely used for scientific and practical purposes. 

Many analytical techniques used to inspect the cited properties are common to the field of polymer characterization vibrational spectroscopy (ETIR, Raman), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR, ESR) and liquid chromatography (GPC, HPLC). A few methods, such as oxygen consumption and chemiluminescence, are more specific to oxidative degradation. Mechanical tests are frequently used in combination with other analytical tools to asset the effects of degradation on mechanical properties. 

Moreover, concerning the mechanical test itself, not only the classical method of continuous straining should be considered, because of the fact that during service a component made from a polymer nanocomposite will frequently be subjected to vibrations causing many cycles of alternating load - with materials fatigue becoming the most important reason for failure.

The second type of failure is often observed in mechanical tests, such as bending, shocking, and vibration. In these tests, the solder joints break at low strength and show extremely flat fracture surface, as shown in Fig. 9(a) to (c) (Ref... 

For fine pitch surface mount components, such as BGA packages and CSPs, the Au content in a solder joint is less than 1%. The effects of Au content in fine pitch surface mount solder joints wife respect to mechanical shock, vibration, and thermal cycling can be found in Ref 110. Au contents up to 10.1 wt% were tested. The testing was not severe enough to cause a significant portion of fee solder joints to fail. Based on metallurgical examination of solder joints wife concentration more than 4 wt%, they recommend feat fee Au concentration should be limited to 3 wt%. 

Mechanical Tests Include Mechanical Cycling and Vibration. 

Technical feasibility of these issues are examined by various tests using a full-scale mock-up and a one-fourth scale mock-up (Hayafune et al., 2006 Handa et al., 2009). For example, the one-fourth scale mock-up experiments have revealed basic mechanisms of vibration transmission and mbe wear. An evaluation method on mbe wear... 

Other limitation for the spatial resolution can be found in the detector. A limited number of pixels in the camera array can be a reason for pure resolution in the case of a big field of view. For example, if field of view should be 10 by 10 nun with camera division 512x512 pixels the pixel size will be approximately 20 microns. To improve the relation of the field of view and the spatial resolution a mega-pixel sensor can be used. One more limitation for the spatial resolution is in mechanical movement (rotation) of the object, camera and source. In the case of a mechanical movement all displacements and rotations should be done with accuracy better than the spatial resolution in any tested place of the object. In the case of big-size assemblies and PCB s it is difficult to avoid vibrations, axle play and object non-planarity during testing.
