Signal Processing for Reliability - Based Laboratory Test

Signal processing directs the flow of information between data acquisition, design, simulation, analysis, and laboratory testing. In interfacing with these technologies, signal processing provides standardization while accommodating new developments and maintaining processing integrity.

Structural Life Development at the General Motors Proving Ground has integrated the requirements for reliability-based laboratory tests into their signal processing procedures. A primer of signal processing tools and terminology is presented in the context of reliability-based testing and structural analysis.
