Specifications

Procedure

Requirements

1.5 mm displacement amplitude or 20 g maximum acceleration. Vibration applied

for three 22-hour sessions at 10 – 2,000 Hz (capacitor clamped by body).

No leakage of electrolyte or

other visible damage. Deviations

in capacitance from initial

measurements must not exceed:

Δ C/C < 5%
