3.4 Random Vibration with Dynamic Load - Over-The-Road Trailer Simulation The packaged-product was subjected to Random Vibration sequence of ISTA 3A Over-The-Road Trailer Spectrum. The face 3 of the packaged-product received 60 minutes for Random Vibration input. The faces 4 and 6 each received 30 minutes for Random Vibration input. Total test duration was 2 hours. Restraining devices were applied around the packaged-product to prevent it from falling off the vibration table.
