Sumario:This study aims to develop and implement a control algorithm based on heuristic methods to be used in vibration-accelerated tests performed by an electrodynamic shaker for HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Tests) and HASS (Highly Accelerated Stress Screening). In such tests, these controllers should be robust to accommodate resonance effects in the test specimen and shaker that can affect the system’s dynamics. Two control systems are designed: (i) a Fuzzy Logic Control and (ii) a traditional PID control, both implemented using an electrodynamic shaker to control mechanical stress and acceleration levels in a test specimen under HALT/HASS. The obtained experimental results show that both control systems presented similar behavior, occurring minor overshoots and negligible residual steady-state errors at both constant and sine sweep tests for acceleration and stress level control.
