Abstract: The maximum expectant environment(MEE) of a vibration process means that in an area of a structure, the conservative limit of the vibration environmental data is obtained in the form of a spectrum by measurement or prediction methods. However, for many test methods, especially when the vibration table is used to simulate the low frequency transient environment (with frequency less than 100 Hz), the test reference signal waveforms have to be given. Based on the MEE of the vibration process besides the time and frequency analysis, a new method is proposed to reconstruct rapidly the maximum expectant environmental waveform(MEW) in the vibration simulation test. The numerical simulation results show that the error of the calculations by the new method is reduced, and the control is more flexible and efficient as compared with the traditional method, thus the new waveform reconstruction method can be used in the vibration environment test.
