Paragraph 42 Materials processingI1I2

United Kingdom

(1)

Vibration test systems, equipment and components thereof, other than those specified in Dual-Use code 2B116—

(a)

vibration test systems employing feedback or closed loop techniques and incorporating a digital controller, capable of vibrating a system at an acceleration equal to or greater than 0,1 g rms between 0,1 Hz and 2 kHz and imparting forces equal to or greater than 50 kN, measured “bare table”;

(b)

digital controllers, combined with specially designed vibration test software, with a real-time control bandwidth greater than 5 kHz designed for use with vibration test systems specified in paragraph (a);

(c)

vibration thrusters (shaker units), with or without associated amplifiers, capable of imparting a force equal to or greater than 50 kN, measured “bare table”, and usable in vibration test systems specified in paragraph (a);

(d)

rest piece support structures and electronic units designed to combine multiple shaker units in a system capable of providing an effective combined force equal to or greater than 50 kN, measured “bare table”, and usable in vibration systems specified in paragraph (a).

(2)

In this paragraph—

  • “bare table” means a flat table, or surface, with no fixture or fittings.

  • “real-time control bandwidth” means the maximum rate at which a controller can execute complete cycles of sampling, processing data and transmitting control signals.
