MILST 510 – MIL-STD-810 Testing – Understanding, Planning and Performing Dynamic and Climatic Tests
Introduction of instructor and participants
Overview for management and participants
- Purpose of environmental testing, particularly vibration and shock
- Types of vibration tests: Sinusoidal, random, resonance search/dwell, fatigue, specification
- Types of shock tests: Classical waveform, SRS
- General test topics, test discipline
- Approximate scheduling so managers can audit special topics
Introduction to Military Standard testing – Dynamics
- Introduction to classical sinusoidal vibration
- Resonance effects
- Acceleration and force measurement
- Electrohydraulic shaker systems
- Electrodynamic shaker systems
- Sine vibration testing
- Random vibration testing
- Attaching test articles to shakers (fixture design, fabrication and usage)
- Shock testing
- Vibration lab demonstration
Introduction to Military Standard testing – Climatics
Each test will be covered in detail. Purpose of the test, products on which the test is appropriate and service environment being simulated. Weaknesses the test can reveal. What is being controlled during the test and how that control is affected. Possibility of accelerating each test.

“This was a great course. I found the areas of attaching test articles to shakers to be very informative and helpful, providing me with the information to design fixtures and test products better. I got a lot out of the class. Thanks Wayne!”
“From the “wet behind the ears” to the “well beyond his years”, Tustin’s book is a great resource and learning tool for anyone involved, or planning to be involved, with dynamics testing of any kind. Thanks!”
