Ground Vibration Testing

Has anyone been involved in this before.

How long does it take to set up an aircraft (say a wide bodied)?

How long does it take to carry out the testing?

I imagine that the aircraft has to be isolated but can any work go on around the aircraft, like an adjacent aircraft in the hangar. The frequencies used are very small (1Hz?) which doesn't seem too sensitive.

It sounds like a facinating subject, so if anyone has any tales to tell please share them.

Thanks,

Saintsman
