Transportation Vibration Measurement
• Free trade agreements have been on the rise in all regions of the world in the past decade.
• This has allowed for global distribution and marketing of products in an international market.
• Countries such as Mexico, China, India, Malaysia, even Vietnam are now regularly mentioned when many of us discuss the logistics involved in our respective distribution systems.

Recorder Mounting• The recorders were mounted directly on to
the vehicle (truck and rail) platform base. • The recorders had a mounting platform
that was bolted to the base of the trailer or rail car floor.
• The recorders were always mounted at the rear location of the truck bed and were positioned on the curbside corner.
• This allowed measurements of the highest levels of vibration conditions.

Power Spectral Density Spectrums
• A typical power spectral density (PSD) function shows the strength of the variations (energy) as a function of frequency.
• It shows at which frequencies variations are strong and at which frequencies variations are weak.
• The unit of PSD is energy (Power Density in G2/Hz) versus frequency (Hz).

Conclusions• Comparison of the India Project data for both
truck and rail vibration as compared to the ASTM and ISTA shows that the measured vertical vibration levels are more severe than levels used for existing test methods.
• The measured levels in lateral should be used in conjunction with vertical levels for packages and products that may not be perfectly cubed in the trailer and result in void spaces. The truck and rail vibration data shows excessive lateral and longitudinal movement in Asia and S. America.

Conclusions
• Recognition and appreciation for the higher intensity vibration as compared to levels from North America and Europe.
• There is a difference between vibration levels in “truck” versus “rail” shipments and are at different frequencies than those observed in North America and Europe.
