5-minute shock analysis crash course
July 29, 2020In this 5-minute shock analysis crash course, Steve focuses on the four main areas associated with shock analysis and provides helpful insights to take away from each area. The four areas are:
- Time domain
- Shock response spectrum (SRS)
- Pseudo velocity
- Severity
Steve presents a suitable balance of theory and practical information as he goes through how to analyze a shock events with the following real-world examples.
- Motorcycle crash with a car
- Human hitting a punching bag
- Earthquake
- MIL-S-901D (military standard for shock testing of equipment on Navy ships)
- Recoil of gun stock during firing
Our goal for this video is to help you take your shock analysis to the next level!
There is a lot of information covered in this presentation, and Steve provides links to all the resources covered in this video, including download links to the data analyzed. He also provides links to several blogs that offer more in-depth information. There is also a link to the free VibrationData Toolbox software used to analyze the data and calculate the plots in this presentation.
Steve is the VP of product at enDAQ. enDAQ (previously Slam Stick) helps test and development engineers acquire, analyze and act upon shock and vibration sensor data. The enDAQ platform combines the benefits of simple, easy-to-use, and affordable sensors with the power of multi-functional, accurate and reliable DAQ instrumentation systems. enDAQ’s platform includes sensors, software and services.
enDAQ’s sensors are convenient, rugged and reliable. They are designed to survive in severe environments and are calibrated to ensure accuracy and repeatability. enDAQ’s sensors empower engineers to successfully test and analyze data in diverse applications and environments including locations and applications that are inaccessible with traditional sensing equipment. They are also highly configurable to meet a multitude of testing scenarios.
enDAQ offers four free and intuitive software packages. The Lab, Analyzer and VibrationData Toolbox software packages cover simple configuration of sensors along with the ability to export data to CSV and MATLAB for additional analysis. enDAQ will also be releasing Cloud which will allow direct upload from their sensors and the ability to organize and analyze many files.
enDAQ provides a variety of consulting and development services to help engineers achieve the most returns out of the platform. Choose from something as simple as a few hours of training to having them help acquire and/or analyze test data. If your testing requirements aren’t met by enDAQ’s standard products, they offer custom development solutions to help your testing and development challenges.
