This part of GB/T 2423 provides the test methods for specimens to resist dynamic loads without unacceptable degradation of its functional and/or structural integrity when subjected to the specified random vibration test requirements.
Broadband random vibration may be used to identify accumulated stress effects and the resulting mechanical weakness and degradation in the specified performance. This information, in conjunction with the relevant specification, may be used to assess the acceptability of specimens.
This standard is applicable to specimens which may be subjected to vibration of a stochastic nature resulting from transportation or operational environments, for example in aircraft, space vehicles and land vehicles. It is primarily intended for unpackaged specimens, and for items in their transportation container when the latter may be considered as part of the specimen itself. However, if the item is packaged, then the item itself is referred to as a product. This standard may be used in conjunction with IEC 60068-2-47:2005, for testing packaged products
If the specimens are subjected to vibration of a combination of random and deterministic nature resulting from transportation or real life environments, for example in aircraft, space vehicles and for items in their transportation container, testing with pure random may not be sufficient. See GB/T 2424.26—2008 for estimating the dynamic vibration environment of the specimen and based on that, selecting the appropriate test method.
Although primarily intended for electro technical specimens, this standard is not restricted to them and may be used in other fields where desired (see Annex A).

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
Note: the terms used are generally defined in IEC 60050-300, IEC 60068-1, IEC 60068-2-6, and IEC 60068-5-2 and ISO 2041. If a definition from one of those sources is included here, the derivation is indicated and departures from the definitions in those sources are also indicated.
3.1
cross-axis motion
motion not in the direction of the stimulus; generally specified in the two axes orthogonal to the direction of the stimulus
Note: the cross-axis motion shall be measured close to the fixing points.
3.2
actual motion
motion represented by the wide band signal returned from the reference point transducer
3.3
fixing point
part of the specimen in contact with the fixture or vibration table at a point where the specimen is normally fastened in service
Note: if a part of the real mounting structure is used as the fixture, the fixing points are taken as those of the mounting structure and not of the specimen.
3.4
control methods
3.4.1
single point control
control method using the signal from the transducer at the reference point in order to maintain this point at the specified vibration level
3.4.2
multipoint control
control method using the signals from each of the transducers at the checkpoints
Note: the signals are either continuously averaged arithmetically or processed by using comparison techniques, depending upon the relevant specification. See 3.13.
3.5
gn
standard acceleration due to the earth's gravity, which itself varies with altitude and geographical latitude
Note: for the purposes of this standard, the value of g n is rounded up to the nearest whole number, that is 10m/s2.
3.6
measuring points
Specific points at which data are gathered conducting the test
Note: these points are of three types, as defined in 3.7 to 3.9.
