Abstract

A multi-degree-of-freedom shock and vibration testing system which includes a specimen-holding table having short projections engaged by hydraulic actuator assemblies. Each actuator assembly includes a pair of hydraulic actuators on opposite sides of the projection and a servo valve for connecting the actuators to a source of pressured hydraulic fluid and to a drain, to maintain the pair of actuators pressed firmly against opposite sides of the projection while moving substantially synchronously. A hydrostatic bearing pad bears against a rounded end of each actuator and against opposite sides of the projection, to permit the projection to slide perpendicular to the motion of the actuators and to pivot.
