HAM-ISI Unit #7 - Assembly Validation Progress

CoreyG ,HugoP

Transfer functions ran overnight yesterday. Unwanted resonances are present in the vicinity of 130Hz, on all DOF. The usual suspect is then the 600lbs payload mass set on top of the ISI. One can hear it resonating when being hit. The washers it was sat on were too close from each other. Corey and I lifted this top mass with a fork lift and reset the washers. The mass would vibrate way less when being hit afterwards.

Transfer functions are running overnight.

Moving the washers had the intended effect. It suppressed the unwanted resonances.
