Dr. Benjamin Shank, Thermotron engineer, has written yet another expert whitepaper, as it relates to adaptive shock pulses on an electrodynamic shaker.
A physics (kinematics) solver built into a vibration controller is used to optimize reference pulses for classic shock specifications. These Adaptive references are more realistic, more controllable and less prone to nuisance aborts than industry-standard pre-constructed references.
