ABSTRACT:
 In this project work, a jig is analysed for testing the thermal image camera.
Analysis of thermal imaging camera is done and environmental
specifications are obtained from joint services specification. For testing the
object on single shaker machine , jig is used for mounting of object as it
cannot be placed directly on shaker machine. The jig is designed in such a
way that it should itself withstand vibration and it should transmit same
amount of vibration. It should neither produce unwanted resonance effect
nor should it absorb vibration.
 The vibration analysis is carried out by defining material properties to the
components , defining the contact conditions of every part of it , defining the
fixing conditions, applying loads vertically , essentially ,building the good
quality meshing and using random vibration analysis in ANSYS 19.2.
 Introduction:
 Vibration is the most important modes of failure in avionic equipment. The
avionic equipment fitted into the aircraft has to withstand high vibrations.
As vibration equipment cannot be placed directly on the vibration machine
shaker table, a mechanic structure called jig is placed between the
equipment and machine. The avionic equipment under the test has to
withstand a random excitation with frequency range of 20-500Hz. In this
work designing the jig that supports the unit and the vibration machine
while taking into the consideration that its natural frequency does not occur
in the excitation range of the unit. These jigs are generally used for
supporting TIC equipment which is used in missiles, fighter aircraftes. The
jig is designed such that its natural frequency does not fall under the
frequency range of 20-500Hz. The after selecting the suitable design of
vibration jig as per the requirement, it is analyzed by using finite element
analysis.
 A jig is an intermediate structure, bolted to and driven by a shaker or
shock testing machine and some devices under test. The shaker head
on a vibration machine usually have some form of a hole pattern that
permits the installation of machine screws. These holes can often be
used to mount small electric components for vibration testing.
 Literature review
 Joint Services Specification on Environmental Test Methods for
Electronic and Electrical Equipment JSS 55555:2000 [1]
 This specification describes standard procedures and conditions for
Environmental tests for Service Electronic and Electrical (except
those associated with explosives and guided missiles).
 This specification includes environmental conditions obtainable in
the laboratory, such that if an item is exposed to these conditions
and continues to operate in a satisfactory manner, a high degree of
confidence will have been established that the item could survive
the field environment during its expected operational and storage
life.
Vibration Testing:
Vibration testing is done to introduce a focusing function into a structure,
usually with the use of vibration test shaker or vibration testing machine. These
induced vibrations, vibration tests or shaker tests are used in the laboratory or
production floor for including qualifying products during design, meeting standards,
regulatory qualifications, fatigue testing, screening products and evaluating
performance.
 Most often electro dynamic and servo hydraulic shakers are used,
depending on the frequency range and displacement required.
Resonance:
 In mechanical systems, resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when the
frequency at which a force is periodically applied is equal or nearly equal to
one of the natural frequencies of the system to oscillate with larger amplitude
than when the force is applied at other frequencies.
 Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum
are known as resonant frequencies of the system.
Random Vibration:
 Random vibration is somewhat of a misnomer. If the generally accepted meaning
of the term "random" were applicable, it would not be possible to analyze a system
subjected to "random" vibration. Furthermore, if this term were considered in the
context of having no specific pattern (i.e., haphazard), it would not be possible to
define a vibration environment, for the environment would vary in a totally
unpredictable manner.
 A random vibration is one whose absolute value is not predictable at any point in time.
Qualities of Vibration Test Jig

 1. Secondary vibrations should not be created.

 2. Jig should not absorb vibrations.

 3. Same frequency should transfer to object.

Faliure Modes Due To Vibration

 Vibration fatigue is a mechanical engineering term

describing material fatigue, caused by forced
vibration of random nature. An excited structure responds
according to its natural-dynamics modes, which results in a
dynamic stress load in the material points. The process
of material fatigue is thus governed largely by the shape of
the excitation profile and the response it produces. As the
profiles of excitation and response are preferably analyzed in
the frequency domain it is practical to use fatigue
life evaluation methods, that can operate on the data
in frequency-domain, such as power spectral density (PSD).
Thermal Image Camera:
 A thermal imaging camera (colloquially known as a TIC) is
a type of thermo graphic camera used in firefighting. By
rendering infrared radiation as visible light, such cameras
allow firefighters to see areas of heat through smoke, darkness, or
heat-permeable barriers. Thermal imaging cameras are typically
handheld, but may be helmet-mounted. They are constructed using
heat- and water-resistant housings, and ruggedized to withstand
the hazards of fire ground operations.
 While they are expensive pieces of equipment, their
popularity and adoption by firefighters in the United States is
increasing markedly due to the increased availability of government
equipment grants following the September 11 attacks in 2001.
Thermal imaging cameras pick up body heat, and they are normally
used in cases where people are trapped where rescuers cannot
find them.
Problem definition:
 To determine the suitability of Thermal image camera equipment to withstand
specified severities of vibration.

Test conditions:
 The frequencies which are usually occur in real-time situations are replicated
in simulated conditions and also during the experimentation on test bed. This
ensures safety of equipment on test bed.
 This frequency ranges are applied along three orthogonal(x,y,z) directions.
The frequency range gradually increases from 20 to 500Hz.
 Jig must be held tightly over the bed during the test.
 Equipment must be firmly held in the jig to avoid slippage from the jig during
vibrations.
ANSYS:

Expected output:
 The frequency range maintained and the acceleration is 10g*m/s2. This is in
compliance with JSS standard.
 When the acceleration of the jig is greater than 2.0g*m/s2, then the
equipment inside the jig will be damaged.
(g* equals to 2g, where g=9.81 m/s^2)
