Full System Verification and Validation
• Key Measurements: • Residual vibrations in testing system’s accelerometers
• 2 piezoelectric accelerometers, placed on opposite ends of the top plate on SAVI • Both accelerometers will have same readings when no tip or tilt is present on top plate
• Residual vibration is the difference between the two accelerometers • Results are in mV
• Desired Results: • Tier 2 level of success will be met and conveyed by accelerometer data
• Difference in accelerometer signals will be approximately ±3 mVpp at 80% reduction
• Impact of Results: • Results will be analyzed using the same process SAVI uses to measure EFTs
• Voltage will be converted to acceleration and then to displacement • Maximum displacement and radial distance between accelerometer and center of plate will
calculate a maximum angular deflection of top plate in residual signal and thus number of pixels smeared
• Number of pixels smeared will quantify project success
