The effectiveness of epoxy application for minimizing fastener loosening during service was investigated under varying conditions of vibrational and thermal loading. Statistically designed experiments were conducted to identify the best method of epoxy staking. Studies showed that epoxy application can provide satisfactory fastener locking under a variety of service conditions. In conclusion, it was found that: (i) Epon 828 epoxy provides superior fastener locking compared to 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy 2216, (ii) Epoxy application around screw threads is more effective than application around screw head, and (iii) Abrading the plate surfaces with 180 grit SiC paper is not an effective or useful surface preparation technique.

Sandia National Laboratories has tested and evaluated three Inter Mountain Labs infrasound sensors. The test results included in this report were in response to static and tonal-dynamic input signals. Most test methodologies used were based on IEEE Standards 1057 for Digitizing Waveform Recorders and 1241 for Analog to Digital Converters; others were designed by Sandia specifically for infrasound application evaluation and for supplementary criteria not addressed in the IEEE standards. The objective of this work was to evaluate the overall technical performance of the Inter Mountain Labs (IML) infrasound sensor model SS. The results of this evaluation were only compared to relevant noise models; due to a lack of manufactures documentation notes on the sensors under test prior to testing. The tests selected for this system were chosen to demonstrate different performance aspects of the components under test.
