38 T. J. Skousen and R. L. Mayes Fig. 3.10 RC accelerometer motion location 3 & 4 with inputs derived from high damping (HDI) and no damping (LDI) applied to the component with no damping (LDC) and high damping component (HDC) respectively frequency line for each rigid body DOF should be used to drive the test. This is an extreme case of damping differences, so it is likely not representative of real unit to unit variability in test articles. At the same time, it is worth noting that there is potential to overdrive the test articles. As the responses to the input are known, the conservatism of the test can be quantified and will be dependent on the test article variability. This is not within the scope of this paper.
