For the purpose of performing validation testing as an automotive parts manufacturer, a possibility to utilize an electrodynamic shaker for force impact tests with specified force waveform was investigated. The concept was tested on multiple scales, as well as the possibility of control of the electrodynamic shaker with any force signal. Based on the findings, a test bench for fixing the specimens during the tests was developed. The design was subjected to numerical modal analysis for validation. Finally, the concept and design were verified by the means of performing a force controlled test according to requested specifications on the bench.
