Data Based Shock Test Specification

Gilliam, James S.; Payne, Lloyd R.; Montoya, Angela C.

It is vital that avionic packages used for testing and certifying the reliability and safety of U.S. nuclear weapons with platform aircraft survive exposure to shock environments during transportation and delivery. The objective of this research was to characterize the response to these transportation shock environments delivering accurate shock test specifications in order to set laboratory programming material and device certification rigor. Responses to shock events were analyzed in the frequ
