The equipment in ships and railway vehicles are continuously exposed to vibration, and its durability is very important. Therefore, consumers require the verification of the performance of equipment via standardized tests under the given environments to improve and stabilize the performance. In this study, a durability improvement and stabilization plan was proposed, which included the exploratory vibration test, variable frequency test and endurance test for the electrical equipment according to the vibration environment. It is expected that this study results will improve the technological competitive power of the ship and railway-related manufacturers and contribute to the equipment development and export.

Resonance refers to the magnification of a structural response which occurs when a linear lightly damped system is driven with a sinusoidal input at its natural frequency. An exploratory vibration test (a natural frequency measurement test) is very important for the vibration testing of machine parts, as the value measured in an actual laboratory affects test results. For this reason, it is necessary to estimate the measurement uncertainty to verify the reliability of this type of test. In this study, measurement uncertainty is estimated based on three uncertainty factors. The uncertain factors are the measured points in the machine parts, the resolution of the vibration equipment, and uncertainty of the calibration certificate.
