Structural Dynamics Testing in Practice
Volume 3: Multi-Axis Testing in Practice
Multi-axis and MIMO testing as a practice, for the reader who already runs tests and is moving to multi-axis work.
- Coming soon
- Slated for 2027
- 7 chapters planned
Planned, After Volume 2
Status
Outlined, not yet drafted. Writing starts when Volume 2 is complete. Slated for 2027. This page and the home page say when it opens.
Who It Is For
The reader who already runs tests and is moving to multi-axis work: systems and frames, the spectral density matrix, MIMO control, designing and running a MIMO test, combined environments, and analysis and reporting. Multi-axis testing as a practice, not a survey.
Price
Priced on its own when it opens, with the same 12 months of access and the same quiz and certificate as Volume 1. A seat on an earlier volume buys it at $1,095 for 90 days after it opens.
What Volume 3 Will Cover
The outline as it stands. Chapter titles and order may change as the volume is written.
- Chapter 1. Why Multi-Axis
- Chapter 2. Systems and Frames
- Chapter 3. The Spectral Density Matrix
- Chapter 4. MIMO Control
- Chapter 5. Designing and Running a MIMO Test
- Chapter 6. Combined Environments
- Chapter 7. Analysis and Reporting for MIMO
One Email When Volume 3 Opens
The price and the follow-on offer, once, on the day it opens. Nothing else is sent to this address.
Start With Volume 1
Volume 1 is open now and stands on its own. Chapter 1 is free to read.
Volume 1 Available now
The Machine
The machine: the shaker system, the facility, and keeping both running. Volume 1 and Volume 2 together are what it takes for a reader straight out of school to start testing.
10 chapters, 68 sections, about 34 hours
Volume 2 Available now
The Test
The test: instrumentation and data acquisition, the tests you will see, sine, random, shock, mixed-mode, time waveform replication and specialized tests, the control loop, planning, data analysis and data quality, running the test, and writing the report. Volume 1 and Volume 2 together are what it takes for a reader straight out of school to start testing.
16 chapters, 122 sections, about 51 hours
Volume 3 Coming soon
