79 CHAPTER - 4 EXPERIMENTAL TEST SETUP An experimental test setup is required to conduct environmental vibration tesing on advanced launch vehicle subsystems. The existing vibration test facility is having capability to produce a force of 16t by using single shaker system. This capacity of single shaker system is not sufficient to meet the advanced launch vehicle reqiurements. Hence, The facility is augmented to meet the advanced launch vehicle requirement. As part of the augmentation, two single shakers cofigured as dual shaker mode with 30t capacity. A dual control system is commissioned to operate the dual shaker system. A load bearing platform which acts as a common platform for specimen assembly is used to make vertical test setup. A large slip table of size 3.0m x 3.4m is commisioned to assemble the test specimen for horizontal testing. In addition to these modifications two new power amplifiers are also commissioned to get higher efficiency. 4.1 TEST SETUP CONFIGURATION The test setup configuration for simulation and control vibration levels on advanced Launch Vehicle subsystems is shown in the fig.4.1. It is basically a closed loop feedback control system. It 80 consist sub-systems like Electrodynamic shakers, vibration controller, power amplifiers, dual mode controller, control accelerometers and data acquisition. The required test profile is programmed into PC based control system. The vibration controller generates and feeds a low level signal into the power amplifi
