Abstract
Design of Head Expander (HE) for environmental vibration testing components with a required test frequency range has become very important, because it is an interface between electrodynamics vibration shaker and test specimen. The HE subjected to resonant and anti-resonant frequencies due to limitations of mass/stiffness properties. The random vibration and harmonic analysis of existing Head Expander was carried out and validated with tested results in the present work. The proposed new features Head Expander is designed by introducing three different hole-patterns which accommodates the different configurations of work pieces for vibration testing. Modal analysis, random vibration and harmonic analysis were carried out using generalized finite element software, ANSYS. The GRMS values of proposed HE design are compared with GRMS values of NAVMAT P-9492 work and found satisfactory.
