 These
are short (typically three days) gatherings to which you can
send individual participants. They provide an alternative
to "onsite" training, in which our instructor
comes to your facility, or to a "Virtual classroom" training.

 Training
“tailored” to your organization's needs is efficient.
Communication and cooperation between your departments, such
as design and test, is enhanced. Your people do not have to
travel nor disrupt their personal schedules.
Here are a few existing course outlines for onsite training
in aerospace as well as land and sea vehicle V&S testing,
dynamic design, HALT, ESS, HASS and COTS for MIL and commercial
products, also in machinery health monitoring. If you would
like to see ERI's complete course listing, please e-mail
us using subject "Request for course outlines list".
Any of ERI's vibration and shock training
proposals will automatically include a review of "the basics"
of vibration and shock theory, measurement and analysis. All
courses end with a summary, an optional quiz and awarding
of certificates.
You are invited to add topics and/or
delete topics. Tell
us what to emphasize to best meet your needs. To
get your people away from their telephones, you may
prefer meeting
at a nearby hotel or motel.
Select from the outlines below and click
on the number to go to a better description of each one:
COTS 501 - Accelerated
Life Testing of COTS/NDE
Aimed at forcing weak elements to reveal themselves by failing,
in order that that they can be strengthened. The goal is hardware
(mainly electronic) that will not fail in military service.
DES 501 - Design
for Vibration and Shock Testing of Telecommunications Equipment
For designers of products intended for harsh usage and transportation
environments or whose prototypes will undergo accelerated
stress testing (AST, ESS, HALT, HASS, etc.)
DES 512 - Ruggedizing
of Military COTS/NDE (Commercial off the shelf, non-developmental
hardware)
Helps designers and users of weapons systems to "toughen up"
commercial equipment (mainly electronics) to withstand the
rigors of military service.
 DES
521 - Product Design for Vibration and Shock Testing
Some hardware is used in conditions where vibration and shock
threaten to shorten product useful life. Environmental vibration
and shock tests verify strength. This course teaches practicing
designers how to "ruggedize" their products to pass tests.
ESS 501 - Optimizing
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)
Analysis of vibration-caused failures during HALT, ESS and
HASS leads to significant savings in retest time and in design
improvement.
HALT 511 - Step
Stress for HALT, ESS and HASS
Stepwise increases of stress applied to developmental hardware,
aimed at forcing weak elements to reveal themselves by failing,
such that they can be strengthened. The goal is hardware that
will not fail!
MHM 501 - Machinery
health monitoring (condition monitoring) of rotating machinery
For plant maintenance personnel (engineers and technicians)
striving for highest plant reliability.
MOD 501 - Fundamentals
of Modal Testing
Modal testing involves deliberate exciting (shaking or bumping)
a structure (or a model of a structure) such as a bridge,
an airplane, an automobile. During and immediately after that
excitation, we monitor the motion at numerous response points
on the structure. Aided by a computer, we seek to understand
the many patterns (modes) in which the structure responds
easily. Hopefully, modal testing precedes production and avoids
problems. Or modal testing may explain a an observed misoperation.
MOD 502 - Introduction
to Modal Testing
"What is a mode?" and "Why do I need to either calculate or
measure our modes?" Do your engineers think they know the
answers to these questions? Misconceptions abound. Calculating
or measuring modes cost time and money; the course presents
trade offs that assist leader decision on amount of modal
testing required.
 SHT
501 - Servohydraulic Testing Technology
Test methods and practices used with servo-hydraulic testing
during land vehicle product development; includes test design,
setup and operation.
V&S 501 - Basic
Vibration Measurements
For those involved in data acquisition, metrology, calibration
and in MHM/CM (machinery health monitoring/condition monitoring)
of machinery.
V&S 510 - Aerospace
vibration and shock testing
For test personnel and designers in military, aircraft, satellite
and missile fields, launch vehicle manufacturers and suppliers.
V&S 511 - Automotive
vibration and shock testing
For test personnel and designers in automobile, motor truck,
bus and railway fields, vehicle manufacturers and suppliers.
V&S 512 - Vibration
and Shock Test, Fixture, Design, Fabrication and Usage
Design, fabrication and proper usage and storage of structures
needed to attach DUTs (devices under test) to shaker tables
or shock machine platforms.
V&S 530 - Vibration
and Shock Testing from Recorded Data Whereas most random
vibration testing is still controlled in the frequency domain,
using prescribed spectra, newer tests are controlled in the
time domain, using recordings of actual service experience.
"Virtual Classroom" training or "Web-based" training is offered in some of the subjects listed above, 1 or 2 hours/day (rather than full days), by an ERI instructor. Virtual training can be delivered one-to-one or to multiple people.
