Abstract When attempting to recreate an operational environment using a test in the lab there can be many problems to overcome. Of particular importance, particularly when testing components, are the boundary conditions, including both the test fixtures and the excitation methods. This paper is an investigation into “N+1” style test fixtures, and the effect of different lengths of fixture under various excitation and control methods. The investigation uses the Box Assembly and Removable Component (BARC) hardware design from the Boundary Conditions Challenge, and is carried out using Finite Element Analysis.
