Statistical Energy Analysis for Electronic Equipment

Abstract

Vibration response of electronic equipment analyzed by a simple mathematical model or a finite element model can only provide a limited system response calculation. Application of the Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) was extended to the calculation of the vibrations of individual components. In order to demonstrate the applicability of SEA to instrumentation vibration analysis at high frequency ranges, an 8-component electronic box was chosen for test and analysis. There was good agreement between tested and analytical results in the frequency averaged sense.
