RTCA DO-160G Vibration and Shock Testing
DES recently completed RTCA DO-160G vibration and shock testing for DB Integrations in Allentown PA, a manufacturer of aircraft components. The testing was performed on ARINC 600 Mounting Trays. The trays were vibration tested for use on fixed wing aircraft (Section 8, Category S) and for use on helicopters (Section 8, Category U2). Shock testing was also performed per Section 7, Category A in RTCA DO-160G. The trays withstood the rigorous testing that took 3 days to complete. DES has extensive experience performing testing to standards such as RTCA DO-160G. For more information contact DES or call 610.253.6637.

High G Level Random Vibration Test
DES successfully completed a challenging random vibration test. The high level random vibrations were 46.3 Grms from 50-2000 Hz.
Extreme Combined Temperature & Vibration Testing
DES successfully completed a challenging combined temperature and vibration test which involved high G levels coupled with extreme temperatures! The vibration conditions required for this test were 10 to 2000 Hz, 20G maximum sinusoidal acceleration. These sinusoidal vibration tests were conducted during temperatures of -54°C and 200°C.

Qualification Testing on Aerospace Connectors
DES recently performed qualification testing on aerospace connectors which involved combined temperature and sinusoidal vibration testing, random vibration testing and shock testing. Combined temperature and sinusoidal vibration tests were performed per EIA 364-28F. EIA 364-28F required test conditions of 10-2000 Hz, 20G maximum acceleration sweeps at temperatures of -54°C and 200°C over the course of 4 hours per axis. Random vibration tests were also performed per EIA 364-28F. Random vibrations at 50-2000 Hz, 46.3 Grms were applied to the connectors for 8 hours per axis. The random vibrations were applied at room temperature. Finally, the connectors were subjected half sine shocks per…
Package Testing Using Combined Temperature & Vibration
Nowadays global markets and expedited shipping methods expose packages to less than ideal conditions during the transport process. International Safe Transit Association (ISTA), International Air Transport Association (IATA), International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) all contain protocols and requirements used to evaluate product package design. Some of these test profiles require combined environments such as combined temperature and vibration testing. This type of testing requires specialized equipment, set up and experience from the lab conducting the test.
