Abstract

This document specifies the requirements for testing items of equipment intended for use on railway vehicles which are subsequently subjected to vibrations and shock owing to the nature of railway operational environment. To gain assurance that the quality of the equipment is acceptable, it has to withstand tests of reasonable duration that simulate the service conditions seen throughout its expected life. Simulated long-life testing can be achieved in a number of ways each having their associated advantages and disadvantages, the following being the most common: a) amplification: where the amplitudes are increased and the time base decreased; b) time compression: where the amplitude history is retained and the time base is decreased (increase of the frequency); c) decimation: where time slices of the historical data are removed when the amplitudes are below a specified threshold value.
