NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center (NASA/GSFC) has implemented force-limited vibration control on a controller which can only accept one profile. The method uses a personal computer-based digital signal processing board to convert force and/or moment signals into what appears to be an acceleration signal to the controller. This technique allows test centers with older controllers to use the latest force-limited control techniques for random vibration testing. The paper describes the method, hardware, and test procedures used. An example from a test performed at NASA/GSFC is used as a guide.

A typical vibration test for a specimen is to subject it to a specific spectrum of random vibration. This paper proposes multi-resolution processing using a "frequency domain self-tuning" algorithm for application to random vibration control. MATLAB programs simulate two-octave-band and three-octave-band processing for random vibration control. A PC-based, digital signal processing (DSP) board was used to implement two-octave processing. The simulation and practical results are presented.

The Wide Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) and Transition Region Coronal Explorer (TRACE) Space-craft underwent random vibration testing using force-limiting techniques as a means of controlling the vibration input motions. Interface force measurements were made for random vibration tests. Automatic force feedback notching was provided for the random vibration tests. This paper presents the methods employed to determine force spectrums. Test results are presented to show the effects of the force-limiting technique.

DSP in a new age This paper discusses the teaching of digital signal processing to students not having a traditional background. It suggests a set of strategies and perspectives that achieve necessary standards in a sympathetic way. It describes a scheme which demystifies the subject and uses interactive self-learning computer-based tutorials.
