Abstract
High-powered embedded computing equipment using air transport rack (ATR) form-factors are playing an ever-increasing role in critical military applications in air, land and sea environments. High power and wattage of the electronics and processors require large heat dissipation, and thus more sophisticated and efficient thermal cooling systems such as loop heat pipes or jet impingement systems are demanded. However, these thermal solutions are more susceptible to harsh military environments and thus, for proper performance of thermal and electronic equipment, they need to be protected against shock and vibration inherent in harsh environments like those in military applications. In this paper, an isolated ATR chassis including two jet impingement chambers is modeled as a three-degrees-of-freedom system and its response to random vibration and shock has been studied. Both finite element and experimental modal analysis is utilized to characterize dynamics of the components of the jet impingement system. The response of the model is compared to that of the traditional single-degree-of-freedom model, and the isolation system is optimized in terms of its damping.
