Hello to everyone

I participate ESEO project. I task is carbon fiber mounting of antena. I did analysis to cover requirements, but i got a problem with SRS analysis. For FEM calculations I use NX, where I can find maximum ply failure for random events, but I need Power Spectral Density curve. How can I convert data from SRS which is generally acceleration to frequecny function to PSD curve?

If it is hard or not possible, do you know software, where I can check max ply failures for shok response analysis?

regards

Thank You very much:).
 
You can't readily go from SRS to PSD. You can reverse Miles' equation, but there are limitations on the shape of the PSD.

The easiest method might be to synthesize a PSD, convert it to a Vibration Response Spectra (VRS) and compare it to your SRS. This would be an iterative process, and steps are available in detail from VibrationData as mentioned above.

Good luck.
