Probability Density Function & Gaussian Distribution | Random Vibration

Due to the nature of random vibration, the time-domain data of multiple test runs will contain different peak accelerations for any given time. The probability density function (PDF) is a tool that allows test engineers to approximate the peak vibration levels of a random signal. The PDF is a histogram of a signal’s probable peak distribution, providing the likelihood of a particular vibration level.

Vibration Research University offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle sine testing, random testing, preventative maintenance, multi-axis testing, calibration, and more.
