Abstract

A closed-loop random vibration test is a common test used to qualify systems that will be submitted to similar vibration loads during their life. Numerical modeling of this type of test is an important tool to provide insight about the robustness and success of the tests. In this paper the response of an electro-dynamic shaker will be modeled and validated with experimental data.
