Wayne Tustin's training and consulting interests lie in the environments that can lessen equipment availability, that can cause equipment downtime. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of California. His particular concerns: dynamics, primarily the measurement, analysis and simulation (in environmental testing laboratories) of mechanical shock and vibration (particularly random vibration), also the stimulation of latent defects during new product development and as a final step in production, also acoustic noise, as in quieting products and in automotive "buzz, squeak and rattle" testing.
Wayne has developed distant learning in vibration and shock; e-mail speeds review problems. Wayne is available to consult on specific dynamics problems. Wayne's explanations benefit not only test and development personnel (laboratory managers, test engineers, technicians and aides as well as designers) but also people from product quality, reliability and instrumentation whose activities require them to measure in-service dynamic events, generate and/or interpret test specifications and evaluate laboratory capabilities, testing machines and techniques. Many of these workers need simple working explanations of such subjects as random vibration.
Wayne's first experience with dynamics was 1948-53 at Boeing Co. in Seattle, where in 1944 he had earned his BSEE degree from the University of Washington. From 1954-61 he managed field service and technical training at MB Electronics, then the leading USA manufacturer of vibration test equipment. Since 1962 he has supplied technical training to Government and Industry, and has taught in the USA and abroad (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Italy, Singapore, South Africa and Sweden). He is happy to propose customized onsite teaching.
Technical Societies
Fellow, Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology (IEST). Member, Society of Environmental Engineers (England). Lecturer to the Institute of Radio Engineers (now IEEE), the Institute of Environmental Sciences, the Instrument Society of America, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Society for Quality Control, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Australian Organization for Quality Control and the Society of Environmental Engineers (England).
To National Meetings of the IEST in 1964, 1966, 1968, 1986, 1992, 1993, 1995, 2002, 2004 and 2006, he contributed papers on sinusoidal and random vibration testing, and participated in or chaired tutorial series on dynamics. At Anaheim in 1995 his tutorial sessions were entitled "Random Vibration Testing" and "Basic Vibrations." For several years he headed a Working Group developing RP-013, IEST Recommended Practice on Vibration and Shock Test Fixture Design.

Introduction to the Fundamentals of Random Vibration & Shock Testing

Introduction to the Fundamentals of Random Vibration & Shock Testing HALT, ESS & HASS also Measurements, Analysis and Calibration.
This minimal-mathematics minimal-theory text emphasizes test and measurement hardware and practice. Based in part upon Tustin’s lecture notes, it includes new material on digital techniques for spectrum analysis and for digital control of shakers for random, sine and shock testing.
